An Alva woman who’s accused of causing a deadly crash in 2021 appeared in court via Zoom.

Authorities say Anne Lang was drunk when she took the lives of a father and his young daughters.

Lang’s hearing inside a Hendry County courtroom began at 1:30 p.m. on Monday.

Lang became a bit chippy with the judge while discussing concerns over her legal representation.

“I’m not your therapist, and I am not your attorney,” is how the Judge responded to Lang during her court appearance.

Police say that Lang was driving more than 100 mph before fleeing the scene of the fatal crash.

She was later arrested but never appeared in court when it came time for her trial.

Lang was found by U.S. Marshals near Lakeland after she went missing ahead of a court date.

Lang faces multiple charges, including DUI manslaughter and vehicular manslaughter.

She will be back in court on Thursday, and this time with a public defender.
