The elderly Villanova woman who hit a young teen on a bicycle with her station wagon last summer has pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a hit-and-run crash that injured a teenage bicyclist.
Seventy-six-year-old Suzanne Lammers pleaded guilty Tuesday in the July 2009 crash that broke a 13-year-old bicyclist's leg and left him with hearing loss in one ear.
The accident happened on Old Gulph Road in Bryn Mawr on July 15, 2009. The boy, Andrew Mallee of Bryn Mawr, was on his bike and suffered severe head injuries.
Lammers told police that she thought she hit a deer. Lammers fled the accident and kept her Volvo with a giant hole in the windshield covered by a blanket in her garage. She also told police that she was going to turn around and go back, but decided to go home when she heard police sirens.
An anonymous tip led police to Lammers' home, where the damaged car was parked in a garage.
Lammers pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident and a summary offense of failure to render aid. She faces a mandatory sentence of 90 days in jail, but her attorney says he'll argue for house arrest.
