INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — There is a warrant out for the arrest of an accused hit-and-run driver.

Juana Loa-Nunez was a no-show for a court for a hearing Thursday.

Loa-Nunez is in the country illegally.

The decision to release her on bond sparked a dispute between ICE and the Marion County Jail over who was to blame.

Police say Loa-Nunez hit and critically injured a day care teacher in May. Jessica Parks was crossing 38th Street to go to work when she was hit.

Loa-Nunez told police that Jessica Parks "crossed out of nowhere."

She admitted to not getting out of the car to help the teacher despite seeing her down on the ground.

IMPD caught up with Loa-Nunez nearby after witnesses boxed in her car to stop her from escaping.

Parks was left in critical condition and told us from her hospital bed, she forgave Loa-Nunez.

"I forgive her. I just want her to know that. I forgive her. If you're scared, fear can make you do some things that are unnecessary. I do forgive the woman. I pray for her and wish her the best," Parks said.

A warrant has now been issued for Loa-Nunez's arrest.

I hope they find her and she gets punished for this despicable act. Again, these are the people democrats want in our country.
