While prosecutors have not yet revealed why that conclusion was drawn, witnesses have reported some oddities about the incident.

It's been noted that the two were allegedly fighting just prior, and the passenger took hold of the driver's hair and pulled, according to KHON2.

Further, a bystander account makes mention that the car accelerated prior to the crash.

Alexandria entered a plea of not guilty on Monday and will next appear in court on June 8.
