Fatal accident driver slapped with three additional charges

Jun 24, 2009 News

Fatal accident driver, Ashley Pieters, 27, was yesterday slapped with three additional charges when she appeared yesterday before Magistrate, Nyasha Williams-Hatmin.
Pieters was yesterday charged for breach of insurance, unlicensed driving and failing to report an accident within 24 hours of its occurrence.
On Monday she answered charges for dangerous driving thus causing the death of an individual, as well as driving in a dangerous manner to the public. On that occasion she appeared before Magistrate, Melissa Robertson.
Yesterday Pieters pleaded not guilty to the three additional charges.
It is alleged that the accused of 33 Lyng Street, Charlestown on June 12, last, at Broad and Ketley Streets, drove motor car PLL 732 in a dangerous manner and caused the death of John France called ‘Early Bird’.
The young woman was remanded to prison as a result of the incident.
Pieters appeared more composed yesterday and remained unmoved when her attorney-at-law, Neil Boston, attempted to secure bail.
Magistrate Nyasha Williams-Hatmin however refused bail, stating that she would only address that issue when she ‘sees all the charges together’. Pieters was further remanded and will appear before the said magistrate on Thursday.
According to reports the young woman did not turn herself into the police until after six days after the incident. It is said that after the accident occurred, Pieters, in the company of another person, took the victim to a city hospital and abandoned him.
According to sources the accused then went into hiding after for six days before finally turning herself into the police, and only then reporting the accident.
