"This was a tragic circumstance; had she stopped as required by law and rendered aid, she most likely would not have faced such serious charges given the total circumstances revealed to us by the evidence in this case. It is truly important to stop because any aid rendered quickly might be the difference for surviving such accidents. Also, it really means something to the family of a victim and the community to know that you cared. As users of the roads in various ways, we all have a responsibility to everyone," District Attorney Emmanuel C. Nneji said.

The judge also revoked her driver’s license.
