An ex-porn star allegedly confessed to running over a cycling pastor while under the influence of drink and drugs before leaving the scene to meet a celeb pal.
Katherine Colabella, 31, who was also known as 'Kitty Bella,' was on her way to meet La Mar C. Taylor, the creative director for pop star The Weeknd, when she struck Reverend Noé Aguilar cycling home from work on March 25.
Rather than stopping to help the dad of two Colabella left the scene but was subsequently arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury.
Reverend Aguilar suffered from a serious head injury and was rushed to hospital where he was placed in a medically-induced coma, reports the Mail Online.
On March 26 Colabella turned up at a police station after her car was towed from the Continuum skyscraper where she had met La Mar.
A valet at the Continuum contacted police and had the car removed after noticing a broken windshield and dented hood on Colabella's Mercedes Benz.
Colabella allegedly told officers she had been drinking before the crash, and left the scene because she panicked.

As well as a charge for leaving the scene of an accident she was also charged with one count of reckless driving with serious bodily injury.
On April 6 a public defender representing Colabella entered a plea of not guilty and a trial is scheduled for June 28.
Aguilar's, of the Pentecostal Church of God, daughter told WSVN : "My dad is normally, like, a caring person who cares about his family.
"I just don't like, for me, to him hurt like that. It's very painful to me that he's not here with us. My dad is a very special man to me because he's very caring."
The family set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Aguilar's medical bills and have so far raised over $35,000.
Although he has woken from his coma local media reports Aguila remains in hospital for further treatment.
