Man Charged With DWI

A man is being charged with DWI after he caused a deadly accident Wednesday night on Brookshire Boulevard. The accident happened around 8pm at the 3600 block of Brookshire, near the I-85 ramp.

According to police, Steven Johnson, 36, had been drinking and was speeding on Brookshire Boulevard near I-85 when he rear ended another car. The two cars then slid into oncoming traffic and was hit by two other cars.

Sixty six year old Leslie Dahm died at the scene and Johnson and another person were injured. One person was taken to Presbyterian Hospital with life threatening injuries and the other person was taken to CMC with non life threatening injuries.

Johnson faces charges once he’s released from the hospital. The accident caused Brookshire to be shut down in both directions for a few hours with police investigated.
