MOBILE, Ala. — The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) has released new details surrounding the heartbreaking crash that claimed the lives of two teenage girls in Mobile earlier this month. Nearly three weeks after the tragedy, ALEA officials confirmed no criminal charges are expected to be filed against the driver involved.
The fatal crash occurred around 1 a.m. on July 2, along Airport Boulevard near Trailwood Boulevard, where 16-year-old Tykerriya and 15-year-old Malaysia were walking in the roadway when they were struck by a vehicle traveling westbound.
According to the official crash report, the driver told investigators she did not see the girls because her windshield was “frosted” at the time of the collision. The report notes, “It’s unclear why,” referring to the condition of the windshield. The driver also stated she was unaware of what she had hit until she got out of her car and then attempted to render aid to the girls.
The report confirms that both Tykerriya and Malaysia were walking westbound along the right side of Airport Boulevard, in the same direction the vehicle was traveling. The driver was reportedly in the outside lane at the time of the impact.
The incident has sparked outrage and heartbreak across the community, with many demanding accountability and further investigation into how such a preventable tragedy could have occurred.
Family and friends of the two girls have gathered in recent weeks to honor their memory, lighting candles, sharing stories, and calling for greater safety measures along busy roadways, especially in the overnight hours.
Despite the public outcry, ALEA released a statement on Tuesday indicating that no arrest is anticipated, and there are currently no pending criminal charges related to the crash.
As loved ones continue to mourn the loss of two vibrant young lives, the Mobile community remains gripped by sorrow and frustration — searching for answers, justice, and ways to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.
