The driver of the second car did stop and call police, but the first driver did not.
Warren police are currently working on extraditing Bostle back to Michigan to "face prosecution on the following charges":
- COUNT 1: HOMICIDE-MANSLAUGHTER WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE-15 YR FELONY
- COUNT 2: HOMICIDE-MANSLAUGHTER-INVOLUNTARY-15 YR FELONY
- COUNT 3: FAIL TO STOP AT THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY- 5 YEAR FELONY
“This is the outcome for which we had hoped. The efforts by, and cooperation of, the Warren Police Department, the United Stated Marshals, and Crime stoppers, obviously led this suspect to believe that she had no other alternative but to surrender, " said Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer.
