LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police have arrested a driver for driving under the influence after a 23-year-old was killed in a crash early Saturday morning. 

Hannah Freville, 23, was charged with murder and DUI after police responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash on Greenbelt and Lower Hunters Trace around 1:55 a.m. Saturday.

The car swerved and crossed several lanes and onto the shoulder. The vehicle then hit a metal stop light support. The passenger in the car was ejected from the car. The car then spun and landed on top of the passenger, who has since been identified as Kaitlyn Adams. 

Adams, a Sellersburg resident, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Freville was taken to University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

According to the arrest citation, Freville told officers that the passenger yanked the wheel to get her to pull over. 

The investigation is ongoing.
