In September of last year, a Seattle woman was driving on a suspended license and struck a tow truck driver while he was kneeling next to a disabled vehicle on an entrance ramp to I-5 in South Seattle. After hitting the man, the woman did a u-turn and fled the scene. She did not stop to check on the man’s status. Law enforcement personnel located the woman and determined that she had consumed alcohol. The woman admitted to consuming wine. Two days before the accident the woman had been arrested on arrest warrants, but later was released from custody; she was released from custody a day before the crash.
The woman plead guilty in April to Vehicular Homicide and Hit and Run. She was sentenced this past Friday to three years and five months in prison for her actions. Her past history includes convictions for Prostitution, Hit and Run and a number of drug related crimes. She has had 14 arrest warrants issued for her arrest since 2008.
