WARWICK, RI — A woman who backed her car into another parked at Tavern 12 on Post Road April 19, then reportedly left the scene for breakfast with friends faces a hit & run charge in Third Division District Court May 7.
Officer Brian Chianese reported that the hit and run driver, Amy Doran, 43, turned herself in the next morning April 20 at 10 a.m. at Warwick Police Headquarters, 99 Veterans Memorial Drive.
