Alpha Kids Center van accident – Smith and Hassler represents injured passengers
Smith & Hassler has the privilege of representing three of the child passengers injured in the Alpha Kids Center van accident that injured 16 children. The children’s mother retained Smith & Hassler to represent her 11-year old daughter, 9-year old son and 8-year old son who were injured in the crash. New information has come to light that, according to prosecutors involved in the case, the driver of the daycare van Conception Coronado did not have a driver’s license: you can read Channel 13’s report here. Today Coronado and Darryl Freeman (owner of Alpha Kids Center) appeared before a judge to hear the charges against them: injury to a child, criminal negligence. Coronado is being held without bond because she is in the country illegally. Police say the kids were injured when Coronado ran a red light: the van did not have an adequate number of seat belts or child seats.
