    A woman was indicted and faces several charges, including driving under the influence, for a deadly Avondale crash in June, according to a grand jury report.

    Crystal Burns, 33, was indicted by a grand jury in August and faces the following charges:

    • Four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide
    • Two counts of vehicular homicide
    • Two counts of vehicular manslaughter
    • Three counts of operating a motor vehicle under the influence

    The crash happened in the 3500 block of Vine Street at approximately 1:50 a.m. on June 7, according to the Cincinnati Police Department.
    CPD said Burns was driving north on Vine when she "lost control of the vehicle in a curve" and crashed into a pole.

    Burns was taken to UC Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

    Tyler Owens, 35, and 34-year-old Dillon Thompson were passengers in the vehicle, police said. They were both taken to UC Medical Center.

    Owens died from her injuries at the hospital.

    Thompson was in critical condition after the crash and died two weeks later.

    Burns is set to appear in court on Friday.
