An Arizona woman who allegedly struck three pedestrians, killing one, was driving under the influence, Phoenix police say.
Miriam Badillo, 26, was charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault after the incident. Phoenix police were initially alerted to a collision at the intersection of 3500 West Grand Ave. around 10 p.m. Wednesday.
When police arrived, they found three injured adult men, including one who died at the scene.
“When officers got to the area, they located three adult male victims all suffering from injuries sustained in the collision,” the Phoenix Police Department said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “One of the victims treated by fire personnel was pronounced deceased on scene.”
