A Las Vegas woman who drove away from the scene of a crash that injured a Metro motorcycle officer told police her vehicle was not registered and that she didn’t have a driver’s license or car insurance, according to her arrest report.
Alicia Jones, 22, was booked at the Clark County Detention Center on several charges, including one felony count of failure to stop at the scene of an accident, and several traffic misdemeanors.
Jones was driving a 2005 Dodge Neon just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, attempting to turn left onto Redwood Road from westbound Charleston Boulevard, police said. Jones failed to yield the right of way to an officer identified in the report as V. Hinostrosa.
The front of Jones’ vehicle crashed into the left side of Hinostrosa’s police motorcycle, causing him to be ejected and the bike to overturn on its right side.
Hinostrosa was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for several broken bones, including a broken left tibia and fibula, a broken left collarbone, and a broken left foot and toes.
Jones fled south on Redwood, according to the arrest report. Her vehicle was later seen in the parking lot of 1200 Redwood. Jones was spotted during a canvass of the area and was taken into custody.
Jones later told officers she had an argument with her grandmother and left to cool off, according to the arrest report. She was at the park for about two hours and was on her way home when she collided with Hinostrosa.
Additionally, Jones told police that she did not see Hinostrosa while making the turn, and admitted that she panicked and left the scene without stopping. She also told police that she did not have a driver’s license or insurance, and the Dodge she was driving was not registered, according to the arrest report.
Jones is due to appear at the Las Vegas Justice Court Dec. 29 for a status check, court records show.
