According to the indictment, Curtis, “did, unlawfully, but without malice kill Ryan Olson…by operating a 2011 Honda Pilot at or near the intersection of North 2nd East and Moody Road at an excessive rate of speed and colliding into the back of Ryan Olson’s vehicle after she had entered into an uncontrolled hypoglycemic state.”

Curtis was indicted on June 30, and is expected to appear in district court for her arraignment on July 26.
Though Curtis is charged with these crimes, it does not necessarily mean that she committed them. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If convicted, Curtis could face up to 15 years in prison.
