The Bismarck Tribune reports that Memory Anne Bell was charged Thursday with negligent homicide, ingesting a controlled substance and driving with a suspended license. She has an initial court appearance scheduled for Nov. 23.

Authorities accuse Bell of negligently causing the death of 23-year-old Tyler Holder on July 26. Authorities say her blood tested positive for hydrocodone and methadone. Authorities say she did not have a prescription for either drug.

Authorities say Holder's vehicle was struck head-on by Bell's vehicle.

Bell, and two passengers in the her vehicle, a 9-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl, were treated at a hospital and released.
