WOLCOTT, NEW YORK: A 26-year-old woman from upstate New York ran over and killed her own mother while reportedly under the influence of alcohol during a family vacation. Sources claim that Lindsay Naab was detained for felony DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and manslaughter after hitting her mother Annette M Naab, of Derby, New York, with an SUV at around 1 am on Sunday, July 23.
According to the police, Annette Naab sustained severe injuries and died on the spot. She and Lindsay had an argument nearly an hour before she was run over and killed, authorities claimed. The 57-year-old mother of two updated her friends on Facebook about how much she was enjoying her vacation roughly five hours before she died, as per Daily Mail.
Who is Lindsay Naab?
As mentioned, Lindsay Naab is a 26-year-old woman from Derby, New York, who has been charged with first-degree vehicular manslaughter, second-degree manslaughter, and felony DWI, after she ran over her mother Annette Naab. Reportedly, Lindsay and her mother were having an argument before she hit her while under the influence of alcohol.
Not much is known about the 26-year-old other than the fact that she was employed as a certified autism behavioral technician, as per her Facebook. She turned 26 in January. Her mother Annette described her as "caring and compassionate" in numerous photos of the two of them together as well as with family and friends. The Facebook post featured images of Annette, Lindsay, and Annette's youngest daughter, Kelsey. In some photos, the mother and daughter can be seen drinking.
According to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office's jail inmate list, Lindsay has been released from incarceration.
What did Lindsay Naab do?
The cause of Annette's death has not yet been fully explained by police, but the owner of the campground, Steve Lader, told 13Wham that he was shocked by her death.
Lader claimed, "They were here for a day and a half, and I probably had five or six conversations with them, and there wasn't anything that would have led to anything of that magnitude. I know there was arguing going on because some of the neighboring campers heard it. They were becoming concerned and were starting to come out [but] it'd already unfolded. It was just a tragedy."
The 57-year-old died on the spot. Lader informed the outlet that although the police are still looking into the incident, he prefers to think that it was all an accident. "The conversations I had, there was nothing that would lead me to believe there was anything vicious in these people," Lader remarked and added, "They just weren't that type of people."
