The Gwinnett County Police Department conducted an investigation of the Georgia pedestrian accident and determined that Glass was at fault for the death. Alcohol is not considered to be a factor. Glass was charged with misdemeanor vehicular homicide and improper backing. She turned herself in at Gwinnett County Jail and was released after posting bond.
