Authorities in Southern California have apprehended a 24-year-old individual in connection with two fatal accidents that occurred within a few months of each other.

Ahkeyajahnique Owens, 24, was initially out on bail for allegedly striking and killing a cyclist on October 6 in Long Beach. However, she now faces charges for another tragic incident in January, where she allegedly caused a hit-and-run that resulted in the deaths of two individuals in another vehicle, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

The incident on January 4 claimed the lives of Gilberto Lopez, 21, and Bobbi Smith, 24, while also injuring three additional people.

Owens turned herself into Long Beach police Wednesday, and she was booked on $200,000 bail.

The department didn’t say how much her bail was after the first crash.
