ST. GEORGE — The case against a St. George woman has been dismissed following a clean toxicology report and video footage that emerged during the investigation of a crash that left two teenagers seriously injured.
On the night of April 19, two 14-year-olds riding a scooter collided with a Ford Fiesta, driven by 18-year-old Christina Juliana Johnson. While police originally arrested Johnson on charges related to the crash, all of those charges have since been dismissed.
The motion to dismiss charges was filed by the Washington County Attorney's Office on Tuesday after evidence showed that the 14-year-olds riding the scooter were going too fast and with no lights.
On the night of the crash, an accident reconstruction team was dispatched to the scene, after the teens were found to be seriously injured. They were flown in serious condition to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City.
Johnson, who was found down the road, was arrested and charged with one count each of negligently operating a vehicle resulting in serious bodily injury and two counts of failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving injury, each a third-degree felony. She was also charged with one misdemeanor count of DUI.
