MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A 23-year-old woman has been charged with vehicular homicide two years after a driver was killed in a crash in South Memphis. Police said Jewel Rhymes was speeding and driving recklessly when she rear-ended a driver stopped at a red light at E. H. Crump and Danny Thomas on May 30, 2022. Jewel Rhymes (SCSO) Investigators said Rhymes was headed west on Crump in a Nissan Altima when she crashed into a Chevrolet HHR, fatally injuring John Quimby. MPD said crash data records showed that Rhymes was driving 72.7 miles per hour in a 40-mph zone at the point of impact. Rhymes is also charged with failure to exercise due care. Car strikes South Memphis home; individual detained Court records show Rhymes was charged with reckless driving in 2020. An officer said he saw Rhymes weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed at Highland and Windover, nearly hitting two vehicles. The misdemeanor charge was later dismissed. Rhymes is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
