A Henry County judge Wednesday dropped a vehicular homicide charge against a man who allegedly hit and killed a 16-year-old girl, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Robert Huynh, 19, was charged after Tasia Marie Gartner was hit along Ga. 81 near McDonough in June, police said.

Huynh was accused of leaving the scene and attempting to have the car repaired. Authorities found Huynh’s Honda at a body shop in Duluth.

In a hearing Wednesday, his attorney argued that Gartner was in the middle of the highway at night, outside a crosswalk and was not wearing reflective clothing, Channel 2 reported.

So the judge granted the request to drop the most serious charge. Huynh is still charged with hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death and failure to report an accident.

The case could get further review.

"We will review Robert Huynh’s case and determine whether there is probable cause to present any felony charges to the grand jury,” Henry County District Attorney Darius Pattillo said in a statement.
