Mom of baby killed in alleged DUI wreck also charged
One week after a Cobb County father allegedly killed his 8-month-old son in drug-related crash, the baby’s mother was also charged, arrest records show.
Wykenia Lashea Harris, 30, of a Marietta address, was arrested Saturday afternoon at WellStar Kennestone Hospital and charged with three counts of second-degree child cruelty and second-degree vehicular homicide, according to Cobb County jail records.
On Feb. 15, Harris’ infant son was killed in a wrong-way crash on Windy Hill Road at South Cobb Drive in Smyrna. Investigators believe Darren Curry, 31, was under the influence of drugs when he crossed into the eastbound lanes and collided head-on with another vehicle, police previously said.
The crash killed Curry’s and Harris’ 8-month-old baby and injured two other children, ages 3 and 7, police said. Curry, Harris and the driver of another car were also injured in the crash.
