A woman charged in a 2021 hit-and-run crash that left a 10-year-old girl dead has been found guilty on all charges.
Arianna Colon was convicted Thursday on charges of leaving the scene of a crash involving death and vehicular homicide.
Colon sat still between her attorneys as the verdict was read in court.
The last person to testify before closing arguments was Colon, now 25.
Colon, who was 22 at the time, said she didn’t see the bus lights from afar and said she didn’t see any children around the bus, so when she hit 10-year-old Yaceny Rodriguez-Gonzalez , she said she thought she hit a pothole. Colon also said she didn’t attempt to brake because she didn’t see anything in front of her that would cause her to do so.
Fort Pierce Police DepartmentColon testified that when she got home, she saw damage to her car and then later saw the news and was going to turn herself in.
