An 18-year-old New Trier student was charged Monday in the hit-and-run of a fellow student who suffered traumatic brain injury Friday.
Erin Hughes was ordered held on a $500,000 bail after being charged in the accident that put 16-year-old Sarah Goone in intensive care.
According to reports, Hughes is a honor student just shy of two weeks weeks away from graduation at New Trier High School.
Hughes has not been charged with driving under the influence, but reportedly told officials she smoked pot the evening before. The judge said she would reconsider the bail after the drug test results are in on Thursday.
Hughes is being held in the Cook County jail as her parents struggled to come up with the bail.
