A Snellville woman has been charged with vehicular homicide and other offenses in connection with the death of a pedestrian, Gwinnett County police said Thursday.
Tiffany Hayes, 31, traveled over the double yellow line, traveled up the curb and and struck Georgette Stovall, who was walking her dog on the sidewalk on Bethany Church Road in June, police said.
Stovall, 51, was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville after the accident. She died from her injuries earlier this month. Her dog, which was missing for a while, has been found.
In addition to vehicular homicide, Hayes has been charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain a single lane, driving on the wrong side of the roadway, and tire tread, all misdemeanors, police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said Thursday. The vehicular homicide charge is a felony.
Hayes was booked into the Gwinnett County jail Thursday afternoon, records show.
