RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A judge has set bail at $1 million for a driver who authorities say fatally hit a construction site worker in Washington state last weekend. Police say the driver’s blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit. The Tri-City Herald reported Tuesday that Jada J. Gibson is being held in the Yakima County jail following the death of Bonnie M. Stewart. Authorities said Gibson was driving Saturday near the Yakima River Bridge when she hit the construction worker. Stewart died and two passengers in the vehicle were injured. Defense attorney Beth Wehrkamp says Gibson should be released, citing a “really high” bail for her first alleged crime.
