A woman indicted in connection with a deadly hit-and-run crash on Oahu has been apprehended on the Big Island.
At 9 a.m. Friday, the Department of Public Safety Sheriff Division Fugitive Unit Deputies assigned to Big Island operations arrested Chantel Andrade in Hilo. Andrade reportedly missed a court hearing in July and a bench warrant had been issued for her arrest.
Andrade will be charged with accident involving death or serious bodily injury and driving without a license in connection with the April fatal accident that left a 25-year-old man dead. In addition, she has one criminal misdemeanor bench warrant and seven traffic misdemeanor bench warrants.
Deputy Sheriffs will be transporting her to Oahu Friday to be processed on those warrants, as well.
If Andrade can’t post bail, she will eventually be taken to the Oahu Community Correctional Center to await her next court appearance.
