A Jefferson County grand jury has indicted a 37-year-old woman in connection with a crash on Alliance Road in Quinton that killed a 57-year-old Cordova grandmother last year. Stacey Thomas Mosley faces manslaughter charges in the death of Jodie Lynn Owens, along with a second-degree assault charge tied to injuries Owens’ sister suffered in the same wreck.

The indictments were issued in September 2026 and made public the week of November 11, according to AL.com. No trial date has been set, the outlet reported. Mosley was initially arrested in March 2026, roughly a year after the crash that led to the charges.

The wreck happened the morning of March 21, 2025, in Quinton, though supplied accounts differ on the exact block of Alliance Road where it occurred. AL.com has reported the crash happened at 7:32 a.m. in the 2100 block of Alliance Road, while the wreck occurred just after 7:30 a.m. in the 2600 block of Alliance Road in west Jefferson County, according to WBRC.

What Charging Documents Allege

Owens was driving one of the two vehicles involved in the crash, the outlet's earlier reporting states. Charging documents state that Mosley was speeding and driving in the wrong lane while illegally passing another vehicle when she struck Owens’ vehicle, as reported by WBRC.

Owens, 57, of Cordova was pronounced dead as a result of the crash, and four other people, including two children, were taken to area hospitals, according to the outlet's earlier coverage. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office investigated the deadly crash, the report notes.

Charges and Bond

When Mosley was initially charged in March 2026, she was booked on manslaughter in Owens’ death and second-degree assault for injuries sustained by Owens’ sister in the wreck. She was released after posting bonds totaling $30,000, as noted by AL.com.

Supplied reports also disagree on Mosley’s age at the time of her arrest: WBRC identified her as 26, while an AL.com report from the same period listed her as 36. The most recent AL.com report, covering the grand jury indictment, identifies Mosley as a 37-year-old woman from Jefferson County.

Case Still Pending

With the indictment now public, the case moves toward further court proceedings, though a trial date has not yet been set, the outlet reported. The sequence of events — from the fatal crash in March 2025 to charges filed roughly a year later and now a grand jury indictment reported in November 2026 — reflects how long such cases can take to work through the Jefferson County court system before trial.
