A Hillsborough woman is facing felony charges after fleeing the scene of an accident and leaving her 15-month old child strapped in the back seat.

27-year-old Tiffany Utsman made her first court appearance on Friday afternoon facing charges of felony negligent child abuse causing serious physical injury, felony hit and run involving injury, and Driving While Impaired.

Court records show the wreck happened around seven o’clock Thursday evening on Ben Johnson Road, in Hillsborough, near Utsman’s home. Utsman allegedly hit a tree causing the vehicle to flip, at which point she fled the scene on foot – leaving her toddler behind in the vehicle. Utsman allegedly ran down portions of railroad tracks before she was ultimately found in a resident’s bathroom – no word at this time on how she ended up in the bathroom.

Utsman is being held on a $20,000 bond and has a court date scheduled for August 17.
