An Augusta County woman faces an involuntary manslaughter charge after a car crash that killed a Staunton man Saturday afternoon.

Rebecca Wilder, 37, from Greenville is also charged with driving under the influence.

State police say she was driving west on Route 662 when she lost control and slammed into a utility pole on the other side of the road. Wilder's passenger, 51-year-old Kenneth Asbury died on the scene.

Troopers say Wilder was obviously intoxicated when they arrived. She's currently being held at the Middle River Regional Jail.
