Peoria woman indicted on DUI charge in fatal hit-and-run. What else court records show
PEORIA — A woman accused of causing a fatal collision with a boy on his bike and then driving off was indicted Tuesday for allegedly being under the influence of cocaine at the time.
Karrie Brunswig, 43, now faces the count of aggravated driving under the influence. It alleges she had cocaine in her body when her 2001 Dodge pickup collided with an electric-powered bike ridden by 10-year-old Troy Erving.
Under Illinois law, prosecutors do not have to directly prove the Peoria woman was impaired. The state has a zero-tolerance rule regarding drugs in the body while driving.
