5/16/2026, 12:47:52 AM
Hit-and-Run Incident and No-Contest Plea
On February 16 2026, Kimberley Anne Mathers, 51, of Chesterfield, Michigan, was driving a white Range Rover when she struck a silver Dodge Ram pickup that was parked on a street. Police reported that the impact pushed the pickup approximately 50 feet from its original position. Authorities alleged Mathers was impaired at the time of the collision. She was subsequently charged with two misdemeanors: operating while impaired (a 93-day misdemeanor) and failure to stop after a collision (a 90-day misdemeanor). On May 11 2026, Mathers entered a no-contest plea to both charges in the 42-2 District Court in New Baltimore. The plea avoided a trial but left sentencing pending.
