Dui Crash South Bend Indiana in South Bend, Indiana: A 26-year-old South Bend woman, Dadranae Taylor, was charged after a crash around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, near McKinley and Manchester roads in South Bend. Police say her car struck the rear of a parked, unoccupied tow truck in a nearby parking lot. Her passenger, 24-year-old Naomie Gregory, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Taylor was not seriously injured and reportedly told investigators she chose to drive because Gregory was too intoxicated to do so.
