A Pike County woman accused of leaving the scene of an accident in which she hit and killed a man with her vehicle was indicted this week.
According to court documents, a Pike County Grand Jury indicted 40-year-old Erica Renee Wolford, of Upper Johns Creek at Kimper with felony leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with injury. Wolford was arrested Saturday evening following the crash at Phelps and was charged with DUI.
The victim in the crash, 27-year-old David W. Honaker, had been walking alongside Ky. 194 with a small child when he and the child were allegedly struck by Wolford’s vehicle. Honaker died at the scene, and the child suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Pike Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Bartley said the case is still under investigation, and more charges are possible. Wolford remains lodged in the Pike County Detention Center.
According to court documents, she claimed she did not know she had been in an accident when contacted by police. Bartley said Honaker had been walking the small child home when they were struck by Wolford’s car.
