Wisconsin Court System WEST MILWAUKEE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A 29-year-old Milwaukee woman is charged after investigators say she hit and killed 66-year-old Calvin Young Jr. in a marked crosswalk, then drove away and stopped about a half mile from the crash with six children in her SUV.
According to a criminal complaint, Tameca Martin is charged with hit-and-run resulting in death and knowingly operating without a valid license causing death in the Monday, March 9 crash that happened near 54th and National.
Investigators say surveillance video shows Young was thrown about 108 feet after he was struck.
The complaint says Martin later told police she smoked weed about two hours earlier, was holding her phone to follow GPS and has never had a driver’s license.
She also told investigators she panicked, admitted she should have checked on Young and said she was sorry, according to the complaint.
Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday, March 20.
