Relatives are demanding justice for two women injured in the US-60 crash

Relatives are demanding justice for two women injured in the US-60 crash

On Sunday morning, 23-year-old Zoey Johnson and 22-year-old Rayme Barnes were attending to Barnes’ parked car on the emergency shoulder of US-60 near Stapley Road around 8 a.m. That’s when DPS investigators say a passenger vehicle changed lanes and failed to maintain driving in the lane, left the road and struck Johnson and Barnes.

Johnson died at the scene. Barnes has since undergone multiple surgeries for her injuries and remains in the hospital.

ABC15 spoke with loved ones who are seeking justice for both women.

DPS told ABC15 that Nicholas Stewart Meyer, 45, of Apache Junction was booked into the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Jail for causing death by driving with a revoked/suspended license and ARS 28-672A – causing serious physical injury or death by driving moving infringement; both are class 1 misdemeanors.

Legal sources tell ABC15 the case could still be referred to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for criminal charges, but so far the District Attorney’s Office tells ABC15 no charges have been filed.
