Bath Woman Arrested in Northampton Hit-and-Run

A Bath woman was arrested after turning herself in on Monday for her involvement in a hit-and-run in Northampton on Friday, police said.

Amanada Miller, 21, is accused of striking a 10-year-old Northampton girl with her vehicle on Friday morning and driving away from the scene, according to The Express-Times. The girl suffered non-life threatening injuries -- walking with a limp and suffering cuts to her face and head -- and was back at home after being taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.

Miller reportedly said she did not see the girl as she ran into the street, from behind an SUV, in the 900 block of Main Street in Northampton around 8:30 a.m., The Express-Times said.

“I didn’t know what to do,” Miller said, according to LehighValleyLive.com. “I was just scared.”

Miller turned herself into police shortly after a photo of her 1993 Oldsmobile was released. She has been charged with failing to stop at an accident involving an injury, failing to give information or render aid and failing to give immediate notice of the accident to police, The Express-Times reported.

If convicted with the most serious offense, Miller can face up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
