The mother of a young hit-and-run victim speaks exclusively to 69 News.
The accident happened at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning in the 900 block of Main Street in Northampton County.
Crystal Laeyt's 10-year-old daughter was hit on her way to school by a vehicle that did not stop after the accident.
Laeyt says she is incredibly thankful that her daughter was able to joke just hours after she was injured.
"We were told she was hit with enough force that her shoes were flown off of her," Laeyt said. "When they were holding her for observation, she looks over to me and she's like, 'well at least it wasn't a bus.'"
Amanda Miller, 21, of Bath, called police and turned herself at approximately 5 p.m. Monday night.
"We received a call from the 911 center that a female had called in and said she was the one who hit the little girl and that she was waiting outside her house in Bath," said Chief Ronald Morey, Northampton Police Department. "The picture of her car being on the news is what did it."
Laeyt's daughter was back at school on Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery.
"Reading the comments especially on 69 News, I wanted to let them know that I see their support and it is greatly appreciated," Laeyt said.
Miller is now facing three charges that include three misdemeanor charges that include failing to report the accident.
Police say Miller could face jail time.
