Fatal Morgan County car crash death of Chloe Hastings – Obituary

Seventeen-year-old Chloe Hastings lost her life in a tragic crash in Morgan County, Alabama, allegedly caused by a drunk driver, Kevin Penich. The incident occurred on May 18, and a judge has since ruled that Penich will remain in custody without bond.

According to courtroom testimony, Penich had consumed 18 alcoholic beverages across three restaurants before the crash. Investigators also obtained data from the vehicle’s computer, which revealed that Penich had been driving at a speed of 111 miles per hour when the collision occurred.

Penich now faces charges of murder and driving under the influence in connection to Hastings’ death. The case remains under legal review as the community mourns the loss of a young life taken far too soon.
