SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — A woman from Colorado Springs was charged after an August 2023 hit-and-run, when she was reportedly driving her coworker’s rental car without permission and struck two motorcyclists while under the influence.
The woman, identified as Jordan Alexandra Edwards, was in Utah for a business event, according to the indictment from the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office.
Edwards’s coworker provided a statement that was included in the indictment, in which the coworker claims Edwards did not have permission to drive the rental car but took the keys and car anyway after drinking alcohol.
