13-Year-Old Girl Killed in Apparent DUI-Related Hit-and-Run


In Virginia, a Nissan Sentra drove through a red light striking a Ford Explorer traveling with four people inside. Two of the passengers, a 13-year-old boy and girl, were thrown from the car upon impact because they were not wearing seatbelts.
The 13-year-old girl, Antoinette Peters, was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries the next day. The driver of the Sentra, Duane Brown, 32, fled the scene on foot but was apprehended a short distance away. Brown’s blood alcohol level was two times the legal limit and is now facing five criminal charges including manslaughter, felony hit and run and driving under the influence.
