The South Carolina woman accused of trying to kill her three young children by driving them into the ocean in Florida last week was involved in a car crash that claimed a woman’s life several years ago.
The husband of the woman killed in the 2007 wreck is speaking out against the young mother who he claims tried to convince a judge that he was to blame for the deadly wreck.
Doug Krane’s wife, Jennifer Krane, had just given birth the couple’s first child when they crossed paths with Ebony Wilkerson on a freeway near Fort Lauderdale in February of 2007.
On the day of the deadly wreck, Wilkerson was going northbound on Interstate 95 when she switched lanes and slammed into the rear of a Nissan operated by Doug Krane, who was driving with his wife and infant son in the car.
The impact sent Krane’s car skidding across the road and into a concrete barrier. Jennifer Krane suffered critical injuries in the collision and died several days later.
Wilkerson was cited for improper lane change, lost her license for a year and was ordered to serve 132 hours of community service, according to court records.
Doug Krane told HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell that if Wilkerson had been punished more severely for the wreck that killed his wife, perhaps last week’s incident could have been avoided.
‘I didn’t think id ever hear her name again,’ Krane said of the news that Wilkerson allegedly had tried to kill her children. ‘I was shocked, and when I first found it was her it did bring tears to my eyes because something could have been done earlier.’
Krane describes Wilkerson as ‘weaving in and out of traffic’ before hitting his vehicle from behind.
‘She got into the lane to the right of us and somehow got a little bit behind us and then…like you see on cops, she hit us from right behind the back right tire and did like the pit maneuver and instead of stopping on the spot she tried to keep going,’ he said ‘I think the only reason she ended up stopping was because her car wouldn’t go anywhere.’
Krane says that it was the events after the wreck that killed his wife that made him think less of Wilkerson – he initially dismissed her reckless driving as that of a young driver, noting that ‘everyone who is young drives foolish.
‘But then when she got to the hospital she wasn’t very nice to anybody,’ he said. ‘They said she was the nastiest person they’d ever dealt with.’In court, Krane says Wilkerson tried to convince the judge that she wasn’t at fault, and that Krane was the one who hit her.
In her latest brush with the law, Wilkerson is without another person to blame.
Video captured by beach cameras shows Wilkerson driving a minivan carrying her three children into the ocean off Daytona Beach.
Authorities in Volusia County said the video, which is of uneven quality, shows the minivan traveling along the shoreline on Tuesday, before it eventually veers into the water.
Wilkerson was arrested Friday on three counts of premeditated attempted first-degree murder and three counts of child abuse.
She was taken into custody at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where she had been taken for a mental health evaluation following the incident.
‘She definitely tried to kill her children,’ Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said in announcing the charges.
Police say Wilkerson, who is pregnant, locked the doors of her 2012 Honda Odyssey, put up the windows and told her three frightened children – ages 3, 9 and 10 – to close their eyes and go to sleep as she drove into the ocean.
According to authorities, the mother ignored the children’s pleas for help and insisted she was taking herself and her three children to ‘a safer place’.
As water rushed into the minivan, Wilkerson left the vehicle with her children inside, a sheriff’s office report said.
The children were rescued by beach officials and onlookers, and were not seriously injured.
They were placed in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Hours before driving into the ocean, Wilkerson had talked about demons when she left her sister’s house in Daytona Beach, a police report said.
Her worried sister called Daytona Beach police.
After the call to dispatch, police officers stopped Wilkerson’s black Honda Odyssey and she reportedly expressed fear that her husband would be coming to Florida to harm her and her children.
The children were sitting quietly in the car, smiling, and showed no signs of distress, the police report said.
‘It was clear during my conversation that Wilkerson was suffering from some form of mental illness, but she was lucid and did not provide any signs that she met Baker Act requirements,’ the Daytona Beach police officer said in the report.
The Florida Mental Health Act, commonly known as the Baker Act, allows authorities to involuntarily take people into custody if they seem to be a threat to themselves.
Family members told investigators that Wilkerson was in an abusive relationship and that she had come to Florida to get away from her husband, according to the sheriff’s office report.
