Police: Driver who fatally struck San Jose girl is unlicensed

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | June 14, 2008

Police confirmed today that the woman who struck and killed San Jose middle-school student Breanna Slaughter-Eck, who was riding her bicycle home on the last day of school, does not have a driver’s license.
The 31-year-old driver, Adriana Fierro De Marin, did not have a driver’s license, nor was one ever issued in the state of California, according to police Sgt. Mike Sullivan.

The determination on whether to file criminal charges against Fierra De Marin - who was not arrested or issued a citation Thursday after the accident - will be made by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office once police wrap up their investigation. That process could take up to six months, Sullivan said.

The district attorney’s office said it can’t speculate about charging options on a case it has not yet received, spokeswoman Amy Cornell said. Driving without a license in California is a misdemeanor, Sullivan said. No citations were issued in this case.
