Dexter Woman Identified In Fatal Crash

The driver who lost her life in a fatal one-car accident the day before Thanksgiving has been identified as Ashley C. Bota. The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office released the information nearly a week after the Nov 22 accident on Dexter-Pinckney Road. Bota, 19, died when her Subaru went off the road, striking a tree.

Director Derrick Jackson of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office told MLive that Bota wore her seatbelt at the time of the accident, but that the car sustained "pretty significant damage.” A GoFundMe page set up to raise money for Bota's funeral costs describes her as "a beautiful soul."
