Melissa Painter has been charged with two counts of vehicular homicide in the second degree and failure to yield while turning left, according to the Peachtree City Police Department.

The crash killed Leonard Dunn and John Minaberry, both of Fayetteville, who were traveling north on Hwy. 74 in Dunn’s older model Porsche Targa at the time of the collision, police said.
