NORFOLK, Va. — A wrong-way driver charged with killing another driver in the Downtown Tunnel in Norfolk was denied bond by a judge in court Wednesday.
Dominique Goodwin, 27, is charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter.
The charge stems from a deadly crash that happened on December 30, 2023.
State Police said they were told about the crash just after 3 a.m.
After investigating, troopers said they learned that Goodwin was driving east in the westbound lanes of the tunnel when she hit another driver head-on.
Police said alcohol was a contributing factor in the crash.
New details revealed in court included a video that showed how Goodwin entered the tunnel, allegedly going down the exit ramp, which usually goes off to the hospital, the wrong way.
Prosecutors also said there was a bottle of tequila on the floor of Goodwin’s car, and that her blood alcohol was .23. The legal limit is .08.
The woman Goodwin hit, 43-year-old Shelby Walker from Portsmouth, died instantly, police said.
