MOM HIGH ON DRUGS KILLS DAUGHTER IN POLICE CHASE

The mother of a 7-year-old girl thrown from an SUV during a crash on Interstate 85 is facing six charges related to the chase.

According to a written statement from the sheriff’s office, deputies initially received information from friends and family that the child, Queniya Tykia Shelton, was Errika Shelton’s niece. Shortly before the girl’s death, however, investigators learned Errika Shelton was the child’s biological mother.
Sheriff Chuck Wright said two deputies inside one car pursued Shelton’s vehicle after they noticed erratic driving and initiated a traffic stop on I-85 Monday morning. Wright said the suspected traffic violation was following too close or improperly changing lanes.
Wright said the chase topped speeds of 100 mph and continued for a couple of miles. The chase ended after Shelton lost control of the 2012 Dodge Journey she was driving and struck the guardrail.

Lance Cpl. Bill Rhyne with the S.C. Highway Patrol said the SUV overturned, ejecting the child, before going over the guardrail and part of the median. He said the vehicle came to rest in the median near the southbound lane.

Shelton’s 10-year driving record shows numerous traffic violations, including her license being suspended 18 times from May 2005 through February of this year for various violations, including a controlled substance violation, failure to pay traffic tickets, cancellation of insurance.
