Police arrest Kennewick woman in hit-and-run

By the Herald staff

Police arrested a Kennewick woman suspected of a hit-and-run accident Monday evening in Pasco.

Natalie Aguilar, 22, allegedly struck a 5-year-old boy on the 1600 block of North 13th Avenue a little after 7 p.m., said Sgt. Ben Majetich of the Pasco Police Department.

The accident wasn't Aguilar's fault but she didn't stop to help, Majetich said. He said a witness got her license plate number, which helped officers track Aguilar down.

The boy, who suffered minor injuries, was treated at Lourdes Medical Center in Pasco and re-leased.
