Woman Convicted in 2023 Drag Racing Crash that Killed Man, Injured Two Children

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A woman facing charges in a 2023 drag racing crash that killed a man and injured two others has been convicted.

District Attorney Charme Allen’s office says 24-year-old Trinity Clark was convicted of Vehicular Homicide, Aggravated Assault and Drag Racing.

According to court records, Clark and Tra’Shawn Glass were drag racing on Magnolia Avenue around 3:00 p.m. on January 17, 2023 when they collided with another vehicle. The driver of that vehicle died and his two grandchildren were seriously injured.

Data recovered from Clark’s vehicle showed she was traveling 109 mph just before the crash. Knoxville Police say she did admit that she had been racing.

Clark is due back in court for sentencing on September 26 where she could face up to five to 10 years in prison.

According to court records, Glass pleaded guilty in April 2024 to Vehicular Homicide and two counts of Reckless Aggravated Assault. On July 26, 2024, a judge sentenced him to serve 12 years in prison.
