Woman hits a man and his dogs, then drives away, NC police say
A North Carolina woman is accused of hitting a man and his dogs during a fatal early-morning crash.
Lisa Michelle Jones, 22, is charged with hit-and-run and failure to maintain lane control, according to jail records in Cabarrus County, northeast of Charlotte. She was arrested Monday.
