Woman arrested in connection with deadly hit-and-run spree in Philadelphia last year

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have arrested the driver wanted in connection with a deadly hit-and-run rampage last year.

Thirty-two-year-old Neera Nicolas-Hudson was taken into custody on Thursday.

She is facing several charges, including murder, in connection with a series of crashes that happened back on December 26, 2022.

Nicolas-Hudson is accused of killing 22-year-old Roland Darrel White as he was walking near Broad Street and Lehigh Avenue around 8:30 p.m.

Her arrest came less than 24 hours after Darrel White's family pleaded for her to come forward.

"You left him there in the street and now you're running, that's cowardly. How can you live with yourself? How can you wake up every morning knowing what you did to a family," said the victim's sister, Le'Naya White.

Before hitting Darrel White, police say Nicolas-Hudson was involved in a multi-vehicle crash near Rivers Casino on Delaware Avenue. Police say she hit a man on a scooter and three other cars before fleeing the scene.

The operator of the scooter was transported to Jefferson Hospital with a shattered lower leg and was listed in stable condition.

Nicolas-Hudson then allegedly hit a bicyclist at Broad & Spring Garden streets.

The bicyclist was transported to Jefferson Hospital and was placed in stable condition.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
