A Michigan woman has been charged in connection with the hit-and-run crash that killed a young boy and injured his mother and sister on Sunday in Livonia.
Tammy Sandoval, 55, of Mt. Morris, has been charged with operating while license suspended, revoked or denied – causing death, two counts of operating while license suspended, revoked or denied – causing serious injury, failing to stop at the scene of an accident while at fault – causing death, and two counts of failure to stop at the scene of an accident – causing serious impairment.
The crash happened near the Livonia Spree festival area, around the time the crowds were leaving the festival. Tia Robinson of Detroit was crossing Merriman Road with her 3-year-old twins, son Khalil and daughter Khloe, when all three were struck by a vehicle that then fled the scene.
The boy died as a result of his injuries. Robinson and her daughter were admitted to a hospital, where they were listed in critical condition.
Sandoval was arraigned Thursday and given a $600,000 bond. She is due back in court for a probable cause conference on July 10 and has a preliminary examination on July 17.
