BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WTNH) -- A Democratic candidate fresh off a primary win for a state house seat is accused of hitting a car, then leaving the scene of the accident.
Christina Ayala, 29, clinched the nomination Tuesday night and the very next day police say she crashed into another car.
The victim's mother, Mireja Porto says she's lucky her 26-year-old daughter Krystal Velez survived, while looking at a picture of the twisted mangled car.
"We're just trying to deal," said Porto, "my daughter's upstairs in bed, she's not well, her head hurts, her neck hurts, her back hurts, she's in lots of pain."

Witnesses say Ayala ran a red light and hit the front of Velez's car.

News 8 tried talking to Ayala, but all we found was some of her campaign signs and a beat up car.

Years ago when we got the Austin paper, a subscriber sent a letter to the editor asking why any negative news article always mentioned the party affiliation (in the title or first sentence) if the person was a Republican.
Many times the party affiliation was left out or way down in the article if the news was against a democrat. The writer said he had to research the person’s name or position to find party affiliation.
The Statesman actually published that letter.
“A picture of the perp, FWIEW.”
If this were a naughty teacher thread, I’d say VERY guilty.
(And I sure would not post that mug more than once.)
Prediction: no consequences. Rules are for little people and Republicans.
Too much choom.
Yeah, she was guilty as heck. No mention of it in the article, but I have to wonder if AWI (alcohol was involved).
The witness was a married couple who stopped to help the injured victim. Maybe the candidate was really scared, but I'm going with convenient excuse rather than fear.
I couldn't figure out how I posted the perp's pic twice till I realized that someone else posted the same picture at almost the same time.
It would help if she were here illegally ,too.

Wasn’t blaming anyone — sometimes bad things just happen to good people. Explaining why I didn’t include it in my reply.
They one where they made a movie changing the race of the original driver? Yup, I remember that one..
