CAIRO — The trial of a teenager involved in a January car crash that left Thomasville High School senior Levi Knop dead is likely to begin in late September.

Trials are scheduled for the weeks of September 16 and 23, though there is no set date for when Anna McBride’s case will be heard.

McBride likely will appear before a Superior Court judge for criminal arraignment within the next few weeks, with the next court date scheduled for that purpose on June 13.

Following her arraignment, hearing dates in Grady County are held once each month in which McBride can submit a plea prior to the trial.

A grand jury that met May 23 indicted McBride the same day on counts of  felony vehicular homicide, reckless driving and speeding.

Prosecutors say McBride, then attending Brookwood School, struck the vehicle Knop, 18, was driving in the rear the morning of Jan. 29 when both students were traveling northbound on Highway 319 on the way to school.

According to the Georgia State Patrol, McBride did not allow Knop, who was driving in front of her at the time, ample room to maneuver his vehicle.

The collision caused Knop’s vehicle to veer off the left side of the road onto the center median and strike a tree.

Knop, a baseball player in his senior year at THS, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A specialized collision reconstruction team (SCRT) assigned to the case concluded its two-and-a-half-month investigation in April and recommended McBride be charged with first degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving and following too closely.

McBride surrendered at the Grady County Sheriff’s office April 17 and was released on a $10,000 bond later that day.
