Holguin's distraught brother said she was in a coma.

"You just don't hit somebody, get out (and) look at your car," said Joseph Holguin. "Don't worry about the person you ran over, left on the side of the road to die."

Perez faces a charge of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury as well as tampering with evidence. He was forced to surrender his passport and was given a bond of more than $50,000.
