Capitol rioter who stole Pelosi sign accused of killing woman in drink-driving crash

An accused Capitol rioter who was caught on video stealing a sign from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office has now been charged with killing a mother-of-two in a drink-driving crash.

Emily Hernandez, 22, was allegedly drunk behind the wheel when she drove westbound along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 44 in Franklin County, Missouri, on Wednesday night, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Victoria Wilson, a 32-year-old mother-of-two, and her husband Ryan Wilson, 36, were travelling in their car in the right direction along the eastbound lanes when, just after 7pm, the two cars collided.

The crash caused the Wilsons’ car to spin and plow into the middle barriers in the road, the traffic crash report said.

Ms Wilson was killed in the crash while Mr Wilson and Ms Hernandez were rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
