RUSK COUNTY, Texas — A Tyler woman has been jailed in connection with a Rusk County wreck in February last year that killed a 23-year-old Henderson man.
Khamila Tavion Bradford-Burnley, 24, was booked into the Smith County Jail Friday on a criminally negligent homicide charge in connection with the Feb. 27, 2021 death of Jose Gustavo Servin.
Jail records show she remains in the county jail on a $35,000 bond.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Bradford-Burnley was driving an SUV north on US-79 and failed to drive in a single lane. Her vehicle veered into the southbound lane, where it struck Servin's car.
