A Brooklyn driver who opened the door of her parked car, forcing a bicyclist into a fatal crash with a bus, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, according to a new indictment.
Krystal Francis, whose license was suspended at the time, swung open the door of her car on Atlantic Avenue in Prospect Heights on Sept. 11, 2010, knocking cyclist Jasmine Herron into the path of the bus.
Michael Baum, Francis’ lawyer, said his client called 911 from the scene, left briefly to get her mother, and then returned to speak to police.
Baum cited a photo in The Post of Francis talking to cops as evidence his client had no intention of skipping out.
Francis was arraigned yesterday and remains free on bail.
