Grand Jury Returns Indictment in Crash that Killed Knoxville Councilman’s Daughter

Posted on April 21, 2025

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A woman has been indicted on several charges following the death of a Knoxville councilman’s daughter in a head-on collision.

A Knox County grand jury indicted 25-year-old Savannah Stanley earlier this month on five counts, including vehicular homicide and vehicular assault, in connection to the death of 21-year-old Kylie Roberto – the daughter of Knoxville councilman Andrew Roberto – in April 2024.

Three other people were injured in the crash. Court documents say the death and injuries were the proximate result of Stanley’s “intoxication” when her vehicle crossed the center line on Schaeffer Road on April 14, 2024 colliding with another head-on.
