My aunt was the lady that was killed by a hit and run driver at the Air Force Academy yesterday; she was my stepfather's brothers wife. I don't want to intrude on my step uncle and his kids or even my step father during this difficult time but I would also like to know if they got the jerk that did this; I understand the state police found the car but not the driver. If any of you hear of the driver being caught would you let me know?

Thanks

Troopers have arrested the wife of a Mexican Air Force officer after a hit and run that killed a civilian Air Force Academy employee.

The State Patrol says 30-year-old Veronica Prieto-Gudino was arrested on suspicion of careless driving causing death and failure to report an accident involving death.

She is free on $3,000 bond.

Sixty-five-year-old Donna Head of Monument died after she was struck Monday morning in a parking lot near the academy's community center.

Officials closed both the north and the south entrance gates while authorities searched for the driver and eventually found the vehicle suspected of hitting Head.

Thank you BAND1T. There are always more than one victim when these types of tragedies happen. I am sure the lady didn't mean to hit my aunt and she just paniced and left the scene because she isn't a US citizen

Sorry to hear about your loss. Even if she is married to a U.S. officer what is she doing on a federal instilation and driving for that matter. I am a civilian contractor working daily at PAFB. The security at these places are a joke. Not trying to hijack your thread just venting as this is a tragic loss that could have been avoided. Mods delete if you want.
