(Stephenville, TX) – There’s been a new twist in the case of a Stephenville woman charged with the deaths of two young sisters.

The Stephenville Empire Tribune reports Alyssa Litwin wasn’t supposed to be driving the day she rammed into the back of an SUV, causing an accident that claimed the lives of 9 month old Charli and 5 year old Codie Sackett.  According to two sources, Litwin’s license had been suspended because of a high number of traffic violations. She was also arrested in 2016 for driving with a suspended license.

Litwin, has been charged with two counts of manslaughter, four counts of endangering a child, one count of aggravated assault and one count of tampering with evidence in connection with the Dec. 3 accident.  She is accused of texting and using Facebook while driving.  Litwin has been released from the Erath County Jail on $160,000 bond.

The girl’s mother Carrie Sackett has since been released from the hospital and is continuing to recover at home.  A memorial service for the Sackett girls will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, at Cowboy Church of Erath County.
