The driver responsible for hitting a 10-year-old girl and leaving the scene on Friday in Northampton County turned herself in Monday night.
Amanda Miller, 21, of Bath called police and turned herself at approximately 5 pm Monday.
"We received a call from the 9-1-1 center that a female had called in and said she was the one who hit the little girl so and that she was waiting outside her house in Bath," said Northampton Borough Chief of Police Ronald Morey.
Earlier Monday, police released a photo of a suspected car, which was included in our 5 and 6 pm broadcasts, prompting the woman to contact police.
"Well with the picture of her car being on the news is what did it," said Morey.
The girl was hit at about 8:30 am in Northampton, while walking to school on Main Street near ninth and 10th streets.
Morey said the girl is now home from the hospital recovering with her family.
"With the injuries here it is probably going to be a misdemeanor one and then rendering aid and then failing to report the accident so it is going to be three charges," Morey said.
Police charged Miller with charged of accidents involving death or personal injury, duty to give information and render aid, immediate notice of accident to police department, according to a press release from police.
Miller is potentially facing jail time, police said.
Police said Miller was taken to central booking in Easton Monday evening for her arraignment.
