A woman involved in a hit-and-run was arrested on Wednesday, authorities say via a NY1 report.

The woman, 28-year-old Frances Jasmin, allegedly ran over Erinn Phelan in Brooklyn last month, leaving the latter braindead. Jasmin, a Bronx native, left the scene of the accident.

Her sister, Cindy Jasmin, is the owner of the vehicle and said she was not the driver in the incident. Her lawyer said Frances had a mental breakdown after the accident.

Phelan was an aide in Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration. Phelan was with her friend, Alma Guerrero, who she pushed out of the way. Guerrero sustained minor injuries.
