SALT LAKE CITY — Criminal charges were filed Tuesday against a Salt Lake woman accused of driving on the sidewalk and plowing into a group of people in a stolen vehicle, killing one and injuring five.

Shutney Lee Kyzer, 37, is charged in 3rd District Court with leaving the scene of an accident involving death, a third-degree felony; unauthorized control of a vehicle for an extended time, a third-degree felony; and driving on the sidewalk, an infraction.

Just after 6 p.m. on July 4, Kyzer drove onto the sidewalk near 425 W. 200 South and hit six pedestrians, according to charging documents. Kendra Griffis was pronounced dead at the scene. Five others suffered injuries ranging from broken femurs to fractured ribs, and hip and leg injuries.

Four of the victims were treated at the scene.

Kyzer yelled, "What did I do?" after the crash and ran, the passenger in the vehicle told police, according to court records.

Prior to arresting her, agents talked to Kyzer's employer who said that she had called them "in an emotional, frantic state," and claimed that she was out of state and that her family would be picking up her last check, the charges state.
