Ponce-Perez was not carrying identification, which prompted Cary police to ask for the public's help in identifying her. Investigators were able to confirm her identity with U.S. immigration officials.
"We weighed all the facts," Cary police Lt. Mark Parker said. "There were no aggravating facts, such as alcohol use or excessive speed, so the misdemeanor death by motor vehicle law encompasses the unintentional death or injury to a person or property."
A misdemeanor death by motor vehicle charge carries up to 45 days of community service and a fine at the discretion of the court.
