HAVERHILL, Nov 25, 2008 (The Eagle-Tribune - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- DCX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The case of Marie Pigaga, charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a Danville, N.H., woman in June 2007, has been continued once again.

Pigaga, 46, of Middle Road, Plaistow, N.H., is now scheduled to have a jury trial in Haverhill District Court on Jan. 6, 2009.

Pigaga appeared in court yesterday with her attorney, Carl Donaldson of Boston. The case had been scheduled to be heard yesterday, but Donaldson, Assistant District Attorney John DePaulo and Judge Stephen Abany held a brief bench conference and the continuance was allowed.

Pigaga is free on $5,000 cash bail.

Robin Young, 43, was killed when a 2000 Mercedes-Benz driven by Pigaga jumped a 2-foot-high retaining wall at Haffner's service station on Route 125 near the Plaistow, N.H., line and struck her, police said. Pigaga was headed north on Route 125.

Young had just taken her sport utility vehicle through the carwash and was drying it when she was struck by Pigaga's Mercedes-Benz, police said. Her 12-year-old daughter Taylor was sitting inside the SUV at the time of the accident. The accident happened at 1:11 p.m. on June 18.

Young died at a Boston hospital the day of the accident. She had been employed as a secretary in the principal's office at Timberlane Regional High School. Her husband, Roger Young, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Pigaga.

Shortly after the accident, Pigaga told police the brakes and steering on her car failed. But investigators had a Mercedes-Benz mechanic check Pigaga's car and he said the brakes and steering were not defective, police said.

Donaldson filed a motion to suppress the most serious charge against Pigaga -- motor vehicle homicide by reckless operation. He argued the charge is "unconstitutionally vague." He also states his client was not drunk or under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident.

Pigaga is a nurse. She immigrated to the United States from Cameroon, a country on the west coast of Africa, in 1985. She owns property in New Jersey.

In August, Pigaga was arrested on charges of failing to appear in court for a hearing. She said her lawyer had not informed her of the date.

Besides motor vehicle homicide, Pigaga also is charged with speeding and a marked lanes violation. If convicted, she could be sentenced to up to two and a half years in jail and fined as much as $3,000.
