According to online court records, Danielle Hill, 22, Granby, is charged with operating a motor vehicle in a careless and reckless manner.
Mrs. Powell and a friend were walking south along the edge of the northbound lane near the intersection of Main and Cherry streets, according to the police report, when a southbound Hyundai Tiburon driven by Hill, crossed into the northbound lane and hit Mrs. Powell from behind. Mrs. Powell was pronounced dead at the scene.
Court records indicate Hill has a long record of traffic violations with the most serious ones happening in just the past few months.
The Diamond Police arrested Hill December 10 and she pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence January 28 to "defective equipment" a catch-all term that is often used for more serious violations. She was placed on probation for six months.
And, in fact, Hill's next violation, which also resulted in her arrest by the Diamond Police Department only four days after she received the suspended sentence, ended up in a fine for an unspecified amount for "defective equipment." That violation ,however, is listed as "municipal, alcohol/drug related" on the case header.
Hill has a lengthy list of violations, beginning in 2010, according to online court records.
