The Louisiana woman who was charged for the May 2014 reckless murder of an Andalusia man was sentenced to life in prison on Aug. 9.

Estella Curry of Madisonville, La., was charged with reckless murder and turned herself in at the Escambia County Detention Center after the May 2014 wreck that occurred on Interstate 65 near the 63.1-mile marker, according to Atmore Advance files.

According to the sentencing order, Curry’s recommended sentence length is 156-1,020 months. The sentence is a straight sentence to be served. She filed an appeal on her sentence, according to the order.

According to Advance archives, Richard Harmon Walker, 42, of Andalusia, was killed after his 2006 Toyota Tacoma was rear-ended by Curry’s 2009 BMW 335i on May 7, 2014.

Both vehicles were traveling northbound on I-65 in the inside lane, when Curry’s vehicle struck Walker’s, causing it to travel east, strike a ditch and overturn, according to the Alabama State Troopers.

Curry’s vehicle continued into the median and onto the southbound lanes of I-65, before making its way back into the median before stopping.

According to archives, the primary contributing circumstance was “aggressive operation” by Curry. The report also said that Curry was driving over the posted speed limit of 70 mph, but her actual speed was unknown.
