FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A woman has been charged with negligent homicide in the first degree, reckless driving and DUI in a July 28 wreck that killed her 6-year-old daughter.

At approximately 3:15 p.m., Stacie Reed, 33, was driving a Toyota Camry northbound on Crystal Cove Trail when, for an unknown reason, she veered into the southbound lane.
