COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a woman who was wanted in a deadly Interstate 70 crash that happened during a custody dispute.

The Columbia Daily Tribune (https://bit.ly/2rhIhpQ ) reports that 22-year-old Mackenzie Quiovers was arrested Saturday. She is jailed in Boone County on $1 million bond on second-degree murder and kidnapping charges in the death of 13-year-old daughter, Shianna Mays. Her public defender didn’t immediately return a phone message.

Prosecutors say the crash happened after Quiovers and her friend went to a northeast Columbia home in March, convinced three of the friend’s children to get into a car with them and drove off with relatives in pursuit.

Quiovers was released from jail after the crash to seek medical treatment. She didn’t return to jail, leading to a warrant being issued for her arrest.
