Shelton police have arrested a 23-year-old woman who authorities said was driving under the influence and using a cell phone during a crash that killed a 69-year-old woman in May.
Samantha Monaco, 23, of Shelton, turned herself in to police on Thursday.
She is accused of crossing into the southbound lane and hitting Rosemarie Dwyer on River Road around 1:30 p.m. on May 6 in front of the Sports Center of Connecticut, police said.
Dwyer was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to police.
Monaco was also taken to the hospital, but with non-life threatening injuries.
She has been charged with second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle.
Monaco was released on a $25,000 bond and is due in court in Derby on Aug. 25.
