Woman accused of DUI in deadly wrong-way Collier County crash requests release for rehab

Genise Taylor, the 24-year-old woman accused of DUI and killing 96-year-old Arthur Gilbert in a wrong-way crash on I-75 in March, has requested a Collier County judge to let her leave jail for rehab.

Taylor’s lawyer said in court that he filed a motion for the judge to consider her release for treatment.

She is being held without bond on charges of DUI manslaughter, DUI damage to person/property, vehicular homicide and reckless driving with damage to person/property.

Troopers said Taylor is accused of crashing into Gilbert on March 18 and that her blood alcohol level was reportedly more than two-and-a-half times the legal limit.

A judge has not yet ruled on the request.
