HAVERHILL, Mass. -- A New Hampshire family was mourning Wednesday after a local woman was run over at a car wash and later died.
NewsCenter 5's Jorge Quiroga reported that the woman behind the wheel of the other car has not been charged and she refused to discuss the accident.
Police said Robin Young, 43, of Danville, N.H., was drying her car at a Haverhill car wash on Route 125 Tuesday when a car driven by Marie Pigaga, 46, of Plaistow, N.H., left the road, jumped a wall and and careened through a parking lot, hitting Young.
Young's 10-year-old daughter was in the car and witnessed the accident.
Pigaga, a registered nurse, denied she was the driver when leaving her Plaistow townhouse Tuesday, and sped off in a Mercedes SUV, narrowly missing two children riding bikes on the street near her house.
"That was her," a neighbor said. "That's regular for her. She's got a lead foot. She drives fast," neighbor Beth Pagliccia said after Pigaga left.
Monday, Pigaga was driving another small Mercedes sports car when, police said, she ran off the highway and struck Young.
"She jumped the wall -- there was an evergreen here -- and ran straight across the lot to where the woman was at that first vacuum," a witness at Haffner's car wash said.
Young was wiping down her own car after a wash when she was hit. Another witness consoled her daughter, who saw the whole thing.
"I said, come on, Robin, stay with it. I said hold her hand and we'll comfort her until the ambulance comes," Sandy Tracy said.
The former secretary at Timberlane Regional High School died a few hours later at a Boston hospital.
"I saw her every day. Amazing woman. Every day, came, she always had a smile on her face," Elizabeth Bonin, a student at the school said.
In Plaistow, Pigaga's neighbors said they were not surprised.
"She does drive rather fast in this neighborhood. There are a lot of little children around here and she has no concern about it," neighbor Susan Barnes said.
No charges have been filed. Police said they're in the process of interviewing many witnesses and looking at the possibility that speed was a factor in the accident.
