A Sacramento woman suspected of driving under the influence has been arrested on manslaughter charges in connection with a hit-and-run crash that took the life of a Carmichael Jewish community activist.

Nikita Page, 31, was arrested for suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and felony DUI. Investigators from the California Highway Patrol say Page was driving a white Lexus south on Watt Avenue near Arden Way at 11:10 p.m. Tuesday when she was involved in a non-injury traffic collision. Page left the scene at a high rate of speed without stopping, the California Highway Patrol said.

Page continued south on Watt Avenue, failed to stop at a red light at Fair Oaks Boulevard and struck a Toyota Avalon, according to investigators. The driver of that car, 73-year-old Sima Spector of Carmichael, was injured and pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel.

The woman who died in the collision, Spector (shown above) was a well-known activist in the Sacramento-area Jewish community. She had just returned from Southern California after working on a national conference for Jewish womens' organization Hadassah.

A speech pathologist for the Sacramento City Unified School District, Spector was also heavily involved with various health and womens' causes. Spected helped co-found the Check It Out Breast Health Awareness and Education, a program focused on getting high school-aged girls to perform self-examinations for breast cancer.

I witnessed a woman on drugs driving like a lunatic years ago, crashing into parked cars etc. Turned into a police chase. They eventually stopped her and she was high as a kite.

I used to work in an office building at the intersection of Watt Avenue and Fair Oaks Blvd where that activist was killed many, many years ago. Hope they nail her ass to the wall!

in it.. DUI, using it in the commission of a crime, pulling up next to a hooker.. drug dealer etc.. they cleaned up the town.. and ended DUI's the streets are free of prostitution and drug dealers..

They still sieze property without a trial or warrant, but has it cleaned up this town? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Of course Beaverton never was a hotbed of crime, but cleaned up?

Perhaps you forgot your sarcasm smiley!
