Pinegar pleads guilty to fatal hit and run

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Lindsay Pinegar, 21, plead guilty on Monday for her involvement in a deadly hit and run.

In October of 2009, 13-year-old Nathan Lawson was hit and killed while walking alongside a road in North Terre Haute.

For more than a year police tried to find the driver of the car that hit the boy.

Police say Pinegar hit Lawson, drove off and kept the secret for more than a year.

Officials believe her stepfather covered her car in deer blood and fur to make it look like she hit a deer, not a child.

Pinegar plead guilty to failure to stop after an accident resulting in death.

She'll be sentenced December 21.
