From David Richie:
A 22-year-old Rio Linda woman has been jailed for felony hit and run with death or injury after she allegedly ran over another woman while fleeing a fight scene about 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Officers responded to complaints about 20 people milling around in the area near Claypool and Daffodil ways in Citrus Heights. There were also additional reports that at least four people were involved in a fight in the neighborhood south of Old Auburn Road.
Meanwhile, a 26-year-old woman had walked out of her home on Daffodil Way to ask her neighbors to quiet down and was hit by the fleeing vehicle. Although her injuries seemed superficial, she was transported to Mercy San Juan Medical Center, Carmichael. Emergency room doctors soon determined that the woman had indeed suffered potentially life-threatening internal injuries if quick treatment had not been available, officials said.
Witnesses provided officers with a license plate number and a description of the driver.
Later that morning, Brandy Marie Christensen called the police department. She surrendered to officers who went to her Rio Linda home.
Jail records indicate that Christensen also was charged with misdemeanor driving with a suspended license and she was rearrested on a previous drunken driving charge. She remains in Sacramento County Jail but most likely will be released Tuesday after a court appearance.
