The driver connected to a deadly hit-and-run of a North Fort Myers girl, Alana Tamplin, pled no contest and was sentenced Thursday.

A judge required Mary Miller to pay $1,000, and her license is also suspended for six months.

She must complete 75 hours of community service and attend a “high-risk driving course”.

12-year old Alana Tamplin was a victim of a hit-and-run while she was near her sister’s bus stop in January, a short distance from her home. The driver fled the scene but then came back a short time later, but no arrest has been made.

Mary Ann Miller, 62, was driving a 2006 Toyota on the 10000 block of Durrance Rd. around 7 a.m. when she hit Alana Tamplin, 12, according to the Florida Highway Patrol press release.

The Toyota was traveling south on Durrance Rd. while Tamplin was walking southbound ahead of the vehicle. The North Fort Myers girl was on the edge of the road, along with her friend, returning to her home after the pair dropped off the victim’s little sister.
