An Orangeburg, South Carolina woman accused of striking an adult and a child with her vehicle is facing multiple felony charges, according to the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

Ashley Charena Modest Williams, 23, was recently charged with two counts of attempted murder and hit and run in the May 2020 incident.

According to arrest warrants in the case, Williams “willfully, unlawfully, feloniously, and with malice aforethought” attempted to kill both the adult and juvenile victims with her car on May 18, 2020.

Police say that Williams struck an adult with her car while the adult was holding the juvenile victim.


Both victims sustained injuries that required medical attention, according to police.

After the incident, Williams left the scene without stopping to help the two victims or calling law enforcement to to to report the incident.
