Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe told the Taos News that investigators believe Harris caused Wednesday's crash and that speed appeared to be a contributing factor when she clipped the back of another vehicle, sending her into oncoming traffic. She then crashed head-on into an SUV driven by Maria Elena Cruz.

Harris and the Taos High School student died at the scene. The responding emergency crew included the teen's father, Pedro Cruz, the deputy chief of the San Cristobal Volunteer Fire Department. bbm

The Taos News reported that Harris, 30, had a prior DWI conviction in Collin County, Texas, in 2017 and had been ordered to install an ignition interlock device on her vehicle, according to court records.

A single mother, Harris was in Taos to perform at an annual music festival. She had posted on social media earlier that day that she was low on gas and 36 miles (58 kilometers) from the nearest gas station. "Dear baby Jesus please don't let me get stranded in NM," she tweeted.

I keep hearing rumors that there was alcohol involved but there are so many different sources and I am so confused. Has this been confirmed? Or is this simply a dumb social media rumor?

I bet that her phone fell and her foot accidentally pressed the gas petal while she was trying to pick up her phone is why it says she was going 100 mph when the crash happened.
