LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Bail stands at $255k for the man suspected of drunk driving and killing a Henderson mother and her two sons, court information shows.

Rebecca Post and her children, 5 and 6, were at the intersection of Lake Mead Parkway and Grand Cadence Drive the evening of Jan. 7. That's where police say 36-year-old Darryl Smith crashed into the family from behind in a white pickup truck.

An arrest report details that Smith smelled of wine and cough syrup.

If bail is posted, court records show that he would be put on electronic monitoring with no alcohol or drug use, including cough syrup. He would not be permitted to drive.

His preliminary hearing is set for April 17, 2024.

A memorial was created to remember Post and her children.

"I can't imagine what they're going through. It's sad," said Tina Gullage, a woman who lives near the crash site.
