Valencia woman faces felony charge in hit-and-run

A Valencia woman faces a felony hit-and-run charge today for allegedly hitting a bicyclist in Newhall on Friday, then leaving the scene, court papers show.

Lindsay Feeley, 20, of Sand Wedge Lane in Valencia, was arrested Friday by Santa Clarita Valley sheriff’s deputies and booked on suspicion of having left the scene of a traffic collision.

She is scheduled to appear in San Fernando Superior Court on a charge of hit and run causing injury or death, a felony.

Shortly before 10:30 p.m. Friday, firefighters received a report of a car hitting a pedestrian on Wiley Canyon Road at Wabuska Street in Newhall, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department said Wednesday.

“The call came in as an auto versus a pedestrian,” he said.

Paramedics found an injured male who was riding a bicycle without a helmet while crossing the intersection when he was hit, one firefighter said.

“He went to Henry Mayo (Newhall Memorial) Hospital as a traumatic injury,” the firefighter said.

Katreena Salgado, spokeswoman for the hospital, had no information on the victim’s condition. His identity was not released.

Code4: Posted: March 21, 2013 9:31 a.m. The article should include she was booked shortly before 1am on 03/16/13 and released later that morning at 1130. Her arraignment was on 03/19/13 and is being handled as a misdemeanor. 20001 VC is a wobbler and with no record, it will be handled as a misdemeanor. sreilly11: Posted: March 21, 2013 7:42 p.m. You know, accidents happen, but when you leave the scene of an accident, you lose any consideration that this was an accident.......to bad the courts don't order you to have to physically take care of the person you injured. ohhyaa: Posted: March 22, 2013 11:18 a.m. sreilly11, I like your perspective. boneshark: Posted: March 22, 2013 8:41 p.m. What do you think the odds are that driver was using a cell phone (either talking or texting) when this occured?
