Driver Pleads Not Guilty In Crash That Killed Stratford Woman

STRATFORD, CT — A 24-year-old woman pleaded not guilty Friday in the death of a Stratford woman who was struck by a vehicle last year in Stamford, according to the Connecticut Post.

Courtney Sabia, of Stamford, was arrested in February and is charged with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle after the crash, in which 61-year-old Nancy Flores was hit by a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta about 9 p.m. Nov. 13 at Washington and Tresser boulevards, police said.

Flores, remembered in her obituary as a resilient and hard-working person who held two jobs to support her family, died at the scene. Sabia stayed in the area and cooperated with the investigation, according to police.

If found guilty, Sabia, who is out on bond, faces up to three years in jail and $3,500 in fines, the Post reported. Sabia's father, Pete Sabia, is a former judicial marshal and Stamford police officer.
