A tragic hit-and-run incident has led to charges against a Mt. Morris woman after the death of a young boy and severe injuries sustained by his twin sister and mother in Livonia. 55-year-old Tammy Sandoval stands accused of multiple charges, including operation of a vehicle with a suspended license causing death, as well as failure to stop at the scene of an accident, CBS News Detroit reported.
The collision occurred near the Livonia Spree festival area on Sunday. 28-year-old Tia Robinson and her 3-year-old twins, Khalil and Khloe, were struck by a vehicle that fled the scene, as confirmed by the Livonia Police Department. The devastating accident led to Khalil's death and left his family with severe injuries, information initially withheld pending Sandoval's court appearance, according to ABC12.
Amidst a stream of yellow lights and flashing red signals at the crosswalk, Robinson attempted to guide her children to safety before the trio became victims. According to WNEM, eyewitness testimonies enabled police to apprehend the alleged driver. The Livonia First Responder Foundation has since been soliciting donations to alleviate the medical and funeral expenses burdening the Robinson family in this time of profound loss.
