An Anne Arundel County woman was arrested Wednesday on manslaughter and impaired driving charges in the 2021 crash that killed her infant. 30-year-old Talaya Martin of Severn faces a list of charges including first-degree child abuse resulting in death, negligent vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent vehicular manslaughter, negligent vehicular homicide, child abuse, and DUI, authorities said.

The charges stem from a criminal indictment handed down in March by a jury tasked with reviewing the deadly April 2021 crash on Route 295 in Anne Arundel County. Around 4:30 a.m. on April 4, 2021, troopers were called to a two-vehicle crash on Route 29 near Route 100, where they found a Ford SUV resting on its side off the road and a Honda car that was still in the roadway.

Martin’s 9-month-old boy, Ezekiel, was not buckled into a cart seat. He died at the scene. Martin was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma, where she was treated for her injuries. The other driver was not hurt.
