WACO, TX (KFGO KBRF) – Nearly three years after a college student from Fergus Falls, MN died in a hit-and-run in Texas, a woman has been charged in the death.
50-year-old Tammy Blankenship-Harlan is charged in the death of 19-year-old David Grotberg. Grotberg was attending Baylor University in Waco when he was struck and killed by a car while riding a bicycle with his girlfriend.
Police say an anonymous letter indicated that Blankenship-Harlan was speeding and had been drinking when she hit Grotberg. Blankenship-Harlan told investigators that she had been drinking and thought that she’d struck a homeless person.
