Harsher charges may be filed against woman accused of killing one homeless person, injuring five others while driving on a downtown Salt Lake City sidewalk

Witnesses said Kyzer told them she smoked the drug inside a 1999 Mazda 626 with another woman minutes before running down six people, including Kendra Griffis, who died of blunt-force injuries.

During the preliminary hearing, investigators showed a series of videos from security cameras located near the accident scene, 425 W. 200 South. The footage — from a nearby business, The Road Home shelter and a UTA bus — shows a car eastbound on 200 South jump the curb just west of 400 West. The vehicle plowed into a group of homeless people.
