A Maryland woman was driving nearly 100 mph when she crashed into another car, killing her young daughter, and now the mother faces half a century behind bars.

Danshell Evon, 38, was driving when her 2015 Kia Optima collided with a 1997 Ford F-150 on Connecticut Avenue near Atherton Drive in Silver Spring on May 12, 2022.

Both people inside the Ford suffered non-life-threatening injuries, along with Evon and his two 13-year-old children.

Evon’s three-year-old daughter, Dreamie Dior Jackson, died in the accident because she was improperly secured in a backless booster seat, it reported. WJLA.

“At the speed at which the defendant was traveling, she was not driving a car, she was directing a missile down the highway during rush hour,” said State’s Attorney John McCarthy.

Danshell Evon, 38, was found guilty of manslaughter for driving at 150 km/h and causing an accident that killed her daughter in May 2022.

Dreamie Dior Jackson, 3, died in the crash because she was not properly secured in a backless booster seat.

Court documents said Evon was driving 98 mph when his 2015 Kia Optima collided with a 1997 Ford F-150 on Connecticut Avenue near Atherton Drive in Silver Spring.

“If even the slightest common sense parenting skills existed, a proper child safety seat would have been installed.”

Nearly six months after the crash, Evon was indicted on several charges, including vehicular manslaughter, child abuse, child neglect and second-degree assault.

Court documents revealed that she was driving 98 miles per hour in the seconds before the crash.

NBCWashington reported that Montgomery County had previously reduced the speed limit from 45 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour in that area.

After a four-day trial, a judge found Evon guilty of gross negligence manslaughter, four counts of second-degree assault and neglect of a child.

His sentencing is scheduled for August 9, where he faces a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison.

In her obituary, Dreamie Dior was described as a loving, studious, intelligent, intelligent and lonely girl.

Shortly after the accident that killed his daughter, Evon said: ‘[Dreamie] She loved putting on makeup, playing with her dolls, drawing and going to her gymnastics classes.’

‘He had a huge heart and his personality was contagious. “She was a very special soul.”
