The Erie County District Attorney's Office will take a few more days to decide what charges, if any, will be filed in a Dec. 20 car-pedestrian accident in Summit Township that killed a 13-year-old girl and injured a 17-year-old boy.
A team of Pennsylvania State Police investigators met today with District Attorney Jack Daneri and members of his staff to review evidence in the accident on Perry Highway that killed Ashley Clark as she walked to her school bus.
Daneri said the group met for about two hours to review video of the accident scene, diagrams and calculations provided by the lead accident investigator, and statements made by witnesses to the crash and by the driver, 19-year-old Tyler J. Festa.
The group also discussed Festa's cell-phone records and the results of his toxicology testing, Daneri said.
Daneri said members of his staff then met for about an hour to further discuss the case and to examine the law as it applies in the case.
The lawyers had a "couple of things" that they wanted to clarify, and they asked state police to provide the information. They will also continue discussing the matter and examining the law before a decision on the case is made Monday or Tuesday, Daneri said.
