Grand Jury Indicts Driver in Death of Carrollton Officer Dustin Krish
Hannah Alivia Callahan, 36, faces vehicular homicide and reckless driving charges after prosecutors say she struck Officer Dustin Krish in a Highway 27 work zone in June 2025. Krish died nearly a year later from complications of his injuries.
A Carroll County grand jury has indicted a 36-year-old woman on vehicular homicide and related charges in the death of Carrollton police Officer Dustin Krish, who was struck while directing traffic in a work zone and died nearly a year later.
Hannah Alivia Callahan was indicted on two counts each of first-degree homicide by vehicle, serious injury by vehicle and reckless driving, along with one count each of failure to maintain lane and driving too fast for conditions, according to an arrest order issued Tuesday.
Prosecutors allege Callahan struck Krish on June 11, 2025, as he directed traffic in a work zone near the Ingles grocery store on Highway 27. The officer was critically injured and airlifted to an Atlanta hospital.
Krish survived for nearly a year after the collision, undergoing months of speech and physical therapy. He developed pneumonia, which led to his death on June 9, 2026. He was married seven months before the crash and is survived by his wife.
A funeral was held for Krish in mid-June 2026, drawing fellow officers and community members who honored his service.
The indictment marks a significant development in a case that has weighed on the Carrollton community for more than a year. Work-zone safety has drawn increased attention statewide as road crews and law enforcement officers continue to operate near fast-moving traffic.
Additional details about the indictment were not immediately available. Court records did not list an attorney for Callahan as of Tuesday evening.
