BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A woman facing felony drunken driving charges in connection to a crash that injured several people inside a Bakersfield home had her trial date postponed Thursday.
Madison Williams is now scheduled for trial on Sept. 16, according to court records. Her trial was previously scheduled later this month on charges of DUI causing injury and causing the burning of an inhabited home.
The crash happened around 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 14, 2022, when Williams’ Mercedes-Benz C300 plowed into a home at Old River Road and Taft Highway, according to the California Highway Patrol. The house caught fire and its occupants managed to escape.
