Summary

A woman in Livingston suffered life-altering injuries after a drunk driver hit her on Highway 190 and fled—leading to the arrest of 36-year-old James Middleton for hit-and-run and DUI. Her family, still reeling from a previous hit-and-run that injured their grandson, is demanding harsher penalties. They’re joined by advocate Holly Crow, whose daughter died in a hit-and-run, who helped pass “Jody’s Law” and now pushes for a 20-year max prison sentence and new “Jody Alerts” to track down fleeing drivers.
