A woman allegedly responsible for last fall’s multi-vehicle crash in east Wichita says she was trying to kill herself.
On October 23rd, 27-year-old Paloma Bella Adame was traveling at speeds near 120 mph in her subcompact SUV when it crashed near Kellogg and 143rd, injuring 7 people. Adame’s 5-year-old daughter was in the vehicle at the time and reportedly suffered a broken leg in the crash.
According to investigators, Adame had tested positive for methamphetamine and THC immediately after the incident. She was arrested on January 12th for attempted second degree murder and aggravated battery.
Court documents revealed that Adame told investigators she was attempting suicide.
