Charles Conway sued Beth Ann White and Billy McQueen in Hinds County Circuit Court on March 8 for the wrongful death of his wife and baby in November. Police charged White with two counts of Aggravated DUI-Death after she allegedly plowed into the Conways' vehicle on Highway 18, killing Allison Conway and her infant son. Two other daughters were severely injured in the crash.
The complaint states Allison Conway and her three children were traveling in a vehicle on Springridge Road on November 1. Beth Ann White was driving west on Highway 18 in a 2012 Acura owned by City Motor Company of Pearl. Billy McQueen, White's husband, owns the used-car dealership. The Acura had a "dealer tag" for City Motor Company.
The plaintiffs charge White consumed "an enormous amount of alcohol and was well above the legal limits." White was allegedly asleep at the wheel right before the crash. MHP Trooper Anthony Heath testified at her bond hearing. JJ reported on December 6, 2021:
He (Anthony Heath) testified he arrived at the scene of the wreck. The trooper said he smelled alcohol on the defendant. White told the trooper she had been at a bar called Crossroads and had two medium – sized drinks of vodka and Sprite. She refused to participate in all DUI tests. Trooper Heath described the injuries to the surviving daughters in detail (4:15). There was a partially – full large bottle of Seagram's gin in the vehicle. There were no witnesses to the accident. However, witnesses testified they saw her asleep at the intersection of Maddox Road and Highway 18. The witness on the horn to wake her up. Other witnesses told the trooper she was driving at a high rate of speed while weaving in and out of traffic on Highway 18.
Although she refused to take the DUI test, the police obtained permission from Justice Court Judge Kenny Lewis to have her tested at the hospital. Trooper Heath said her BAC was 0.16 but that test was taken several hours after the wreck so her BAC was probably higher when the wreck occurred.
White had a previous DUI conviction and multiple DUI arrests although those charges were dismissed for failure to prosecute.
The complaint charges White with negligence. Billy McQueen and City Motor Company stand accused of negligent entrustment. Both defendants are charged with gross negligence.
Attorney Rayford Chambers represents the Conways. The case is assigned to Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten.

Am I missing something? Where did that paragraph come from, and what does Rainey's case have to do with this one?
Attorney used an old Complaint and failed to insert the proper facts/parties. Happens way more often than it should, I imagine.
That's a professionally embarrassing flawed cut & paste job and failure to proofread before signing a pleading. Watch for the motion to amend and proposed consent order.
Prayers for the Conway family.
copy/paste complaint
This is what happens when you pick a low budget lawyer. Try Morgan & Morgan next time.
This was happens when you let your legal secretary do the work and then don't diligently proof-read the document.
Highway One and Reed Road is in Greenville.
This is what happens when you’re don’t let your legal secretary or paralegal proofread pleadings before they are filed.
Dumb thread: Dumb comment, dumb people, dumb “blog administrator.”
Basically anyone can create a blog and become a “blog administrator.”
This part is nonsense: "Billy McQueen and City Motor Company stand accused of negligent entrustment. Both defendants are charged with gross negligence."
Why not go after the Service Station that failed to properly inflate her tires after the oil change earlier in the day?
@12:22 PM...actually this is a good sampling of the "quality of lawyer's" that are swarming Hinds County these days.
It’s amazing how ALL of the high profile cases end up in Judge Wooten and Judge Peterson’s courtroom. Am I the only one that has noticed this. Don’t look like the court cases are being equally assigned.
Despite all the errors this is still a blood from a turnip situation. They will not be getting any money is what I’m trying to say. Jail time should be good enough.
