A woman who killed a pedestrian after losing control of her car while driving in Victorville, California, would need to hire a car injury attorney. After a short investigation on Wednesday, May 13th, the police identified Alaina Swain, 38, of Apple Valley, as the suspect, and took her into custody.
The Victorville Police Department said in a press release that at about 9:37 p.m., they dispatched deputies and emergency personnel to Amigo Auto Care at 15255 7th Street. The authorities had received a call about a car crashing into a building.

When the officers arrived at the scene, they found a tan-colored Chevy Tahoe lodged inside the damaged house. The driver — Swain — and as the lawmen later found out, her two passengers were nowhere in sight. A preliminary inquiry soon shed light on the situation.
The woman had been driving northbound on 7th Street when she went off the roadway and struck an unidentified pedestrian walking on the sidewalk before crashing into the building. The unnamed pedestrian sustained severe injuries, and medical personnel at a local hospital pronounced him dead shortly afterward.
The investigation led the deputies to Swain’s residence, where they found her with moderate injuries. The lawmen took the Chevrolet driver to a local hospital for treatment before taking her into custody. The two passengers are still at large, but the police described them as black males in their late 20s.
Anyone with helpful information should contact the Victorville Police Station on the listed line. There is no information on the charge the suspect is facing, but she would need a car injury attorney to represent her interest.
