Montgomery County Police said that a 25-year-old mother has been killed in a car crash she filmed on Instagram on Wednesday night.
“Imma kill it on the high way,” Stephanie Angelica Vasquez posted online with a video of her speeding in her yellow 2020 Toyota Supra in Gaithersburg shortly before she collided with a 2001 Honda Accord.
She and a 35-year-old passenger were declared dead at the scene. The Honda’s driver and two of his passengers were hospitalized in serious condition.
Vasquez was due in court Friday for an Aug. 2 incident during which she was caught driving intoxicated and charged with DUI and gun possession. Police said that she was spotted driving recklessly in Silver Spring.
She failed a sobriety test and a search of her vehicle revealed a handgun she was prohibited from possessing due to a prior charge.
