A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a New York woman accused of being involved in a deadly crash in Grant County. 

Grant County sheriff’s deputies responded to two-vehicle crash on State Road 18, in front of Oak Hill High School around eight miles west of downtown Marion, around 4 p.m. Oct. 1, 2025.

When first responders arrived on scene, court documents say they saw a black BMW on fire in the grassy area of Oak Hill High School, and deputies later learned that witnesses pulled the driver — later identified as Adria Wilkerson, 31, of Corinth, New York — out of her car.

Wilkerson was taken by helicopter to a Fort Wayne hospital with “serious injuries,” police said.

Court documents say the other vehicle, a white Chevrolet, was on the side of State Road 18 at the edge of a cornfield. Court documents say the driver — later identified as 45-year-old Vicki Colley — was trapped inside her vehicle until first responders came.

According to court documents, first responders were able to extract Colley from her vehicle, and she was taken to Marion Health Hospital, where she later died.

Both drivers were the only people in their vehicles during the crash.

Court documents say investigators later learned that the BMW was going westbound on State Road 18 and had crossed the center line and hit the Chevrolet head-on.

Minutes prior to this crash, court documents say the Grant County Central 911 Emergency Dispatch Center received multiple calls referring to a black BMW “driving recklessly” and passing vehicles, including a school bus, in no passing zones and forcing other vehicles off the road at different locations around Marion County and rural Grant County. Court documents say dispatch also received calls that a black BMW crashed through a farmer’s fence into a cow pasture, before returning to the road and fleeing the scene.

Court documents say Wilkerson’s family told police that Wilkerson had left her home in New York in the days prior to the crash, and that she has a history with suicidal ideology.

A warrant was issued for Wilkerson for the charges of reckless homicide and reckless driving.
