## Resource

A 20-year-old Army soldier from Fort Bliss is facing deadly charges after allegedly hitting and killing a mother of four while driving recklessly — then fleeing the scene. The victim, Erica Garcia, was reportedly intoxicated with a BAC nearly triple the legal limit. While McNair admitted her car spun out and struck a pedestrian, her defense questions the indictment, hinting at possible other vehicles involved. Her bond was slashed from $100K to $20K as the case unfolds amid conflicting accounts and emotional fallout for Garcia’s family.
