Brookline woman in a Mini charged with Brighton smashup that sent one to the hospital

The Suffolk County District Attorney's office says Kim Jeonghyun, 25, smashed into a Colorado college student who had just gotten out of a taxi at Packard's Corner Saturday morning.

The victim sustained serious injuries, but is expected to survive. Jeonghyun is charged with drunk driving, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and leaving the scene of an accident.

Prosecutors charge she was speeding down Comm. Ave., with no headlight on, when she hit the woman near the supermarket. She allegedly continued driving after hitting the woman; only smashing into two parked cars made her stop.
