Police in south Florida are looking for the owner of a Honda Odyssey involved in a deadly hit-and-run that killed a pregnant woman on Tuesday and left her 3-year-old daughter fighting for her life, WPTV reports.
Priscila Nicolas Antonio, 39, may have been the driver who backed over Catarina Reymundo Marcos, 34, and Jessica Guzman, 3, around 3 p.m., then sped away, West Palm Beach police say.
The Honda was found a few blocks away about three hours later, police said. The license plate had been removed, but police used the vehicle identification number to trace the SUV to Antonio, who has not been issued a drivers license, according to lead detective Daniel Dillard.
“Please come forward. Give us your side of the story,” Dillard said. “So we can bring the little of justice that we can to these children.”
Investigators say that the driver, a Hispanic woman, and Marcos knew one another and that the driver was either dropping off or picking up the pregnant mom.’
