LOUISVILLE, Ky. —A southern Indiana woman faces charges for a deadly crash on Interstate 64.

 
A fiery crash killed a man in Floyd County late Monday night. 


Klara Holst was arrested Thursday for "causing death while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana."

Investigators said that in March, she crashed into a pickup truck stopped on the westbound side before the Greenville exit.



The driver, David Smith, was waiting for a friend whose truck was being towed.

The New Albany man was trapped as his pickup truck caught fire.

Holst told investigators she was reaching for something in her car when she lost control.
