Woman Dies After FedEx Truck Crashes Into Lexington Home

The company responded after police charged Dario Williams with murder in a case involving a delivery truck driven into a home.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — FedEx says a man charged with murder after a delivery truck crashed into a Lexington home and a woman was fatally stabbed is no longer providing service on behalf of the company.

The company statement followed the arrest of 35-year-old Dario M. Williams in connection with the death of Candice Lynn Mackie, 34. The case began Thursday morning as an emergency response to an unusual combination of a vehicle crash and a seriously injured woman at a residence in the 3300 block of Valhalla Drive.

Lexington police said officers were called about 9:56 a.m. for a report of a commercial vehicle striking a residence while a disorder was occurring. The Lexington Fire Department identified the vehicle as a FedEx truck and said the crash caused significant structural damage to the home.

When officers arrived, they found Mackie suffering from apparent stab wounds and the vehicle extending into the residence. Emergency personnel treated her at the scene before she was transported to a hospital with injuries initially described as life-threatening. She later died.

Police arrested Williams and charged him with murder-domestic violence and first-degree burglary. He also faced fourth-degree domestic violence assault and second-degree criminal mischief charges from unrelated warrants. The charges are allegations, and the criminal case has not been adjudicated.

An arrest citation provides the clearest public account so far of why the delivery vehicle became part of the homicide investigation. According to the citation, Williams intentionally drove the truck through the garage to confront Mackie before stabbing her. Authorities have not released a full reconstruction of the crash or the events immediately preceding it.

FedEx later told WKYT that Williams was no longer providing service on behalf of the company. The statement did not publicly detail the nature of Williams’ working arrangement with FedEx or provide additional information about how the delivery vehicle was assigned or being used before the incident.

The company’s response adds a workplace and transportation dimension to a case that police are treating as an alleged domestic violence homicide. Mackie’s uncle, Emmit Murphy, told WKYT that Williams was Mackie’s former boyfriend. Murphy said Mackie had been staying with him for several months before her death.

Police initially said there appeared to be no continuing threat to the public as officers investigated the scene. Early reports did not explain whether the crash and stabbing were connected, but the subsequent arrest citation alleged that the vehicle was deliberately driven into the garage as part of the confrontation.

The investigation remains active. Williams was taken into custody as police continued gathering evidence concerning Mackie’s death, the damage to the Valhalla Drive home and the circumstances surrounding the use of the delivery truck.
