Amanda Karol Bright
SEVIERVILLE A Sevier County grand jury charged a Gatlinburg woman with vehicular homicide based on evidence from a Sept. 26 wreck that claimed the life of a 66-year-old Sevierville man.
Amanda Karol Bright, 40, of 335 Buhrs Way, was allegedly driving while intoxicated when she took the life of Ulra Winford McCollum.
The evidence was taken straight to the grand jury when it met earlier this month. It was the first time the panel had been convened in months, as the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended many court activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court documents show Bright was also charged with reckless endangerment, DUI, driving on a suspended license, driving left of center, and failure to exercise due care.
