WOBURN, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts woman charged with crashing her car into a group of children then driving away from the scene has pleaded not guilty.
Stephanie DeTomasi, of Burlington, was released on $1,000 bail after appearing in court Tuesday to face charges including leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and speeding.
Authorities say the 30-year-old DeTomasi was behind the wheel of a car that struck four children, all aged 12 and 13, as they stood with their bicycles near the driveway of a Stoneham home on Oct. 13.
