ATLANTA -- A Fulton County grand jury has indicted a 16-year-old girl who authorities said failed in a suicide attempt that resulted in a road death.
Louise Egan Brunstad was charged with six counts -- including felony murder -- in the October death of 30-year-old Nancy Salado-Mayo.
At the time, District Attorney Paul Howard noted that Brunstad was text messaging her intent to kill herself after another female student at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School refused to have sex with her.
The girl also is charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, serious injury by vehicle, reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road and speeding.
Salado-Mayo's six-year-old daughter was injured in the wreck.
The indictment alleges that Brunstad crossed the center line and struck the other car intentionally to kill herself.
Brunstad will be arraigned May 4th. Her attorney, Drew Findling, issued a statement saying that for a tenth grader involved in a car accident with no alcohol or drugs involved to be prosecuted as an adult on a murder charge furthers the tragedy for all involved.
