Beaverton, OR – A Beaverton hit-and-run case, which two Dallas mothers have been working tirelessly to solve, has seen new developments as police continue their investigation. The incident occurred on December 26, 2024, when two young girls, Adriana Rodriguez-Ledesma and Anghelina Boyechko, were on an ice skating trip. Anghelina, driving a red Honda, entered the intersection of SW Canyon Rd. and SW Walker Rd. when a pickup truck made a left turn directly in front of her, causing a crash. The driver of the pickup truck fled the scene, leaving Anghelina’s vehicle damaged and Jennifer Rodriguez-Ledesma’s daughter, Adriana, with minor injuries.
The two mothers, determined to seek justice, took matters into their own hands. They gathered security footage from a local business that captured the crash and shared it on social media. Their efforts led to a tip from a Facebook user, which ultimately directed law enforcement to the whereabouts of the suspect vehicle. On December 30, a Toyota Tacoma truck, identified as the one involved in the hit-and-run, was located at an apartment complex on SW 170th Dr.
When officers responded to the scene, they found the truck parked, with the driver preparing to do a paint job. The driver, who later confirmed he was behind the wheel during the crash, explained to police that he had a flashing yellow light while making the left turn and that the red Honda was traveling fast. He stated that the collision caused him to hit his head on the right side of his head, resulting in headaches, but added that he fled the scene out of fear.
The driver’s rationale for fleeing the scene has drawn criticism, especially from Jennifer Rodriguez-Ledesma, who expressed her disbelief: “I don’t understand it. You don’t just leave the scene,” she said. The truck driver admitted that it wasn’t until later that he realized the severity of the crash and that the people in the red Honda might have been injured. He acknowledged that he regretted his decision to leave but emphasized that he was scared at the time.
Despite the truck driver’s admission of guilt, the primary officer handling the case decided not to immediately arrest him, citing uncertainty about the extent of the injuries. Instead, the driver was issued a citation for the hit-and-run, and he will be required to appear in court for a mandatory hearing. Beaverton police confirmed that additional follow-up will be conducted as the investigation continues.
The case has drawn significant attention, largely due to the determined efforts of the two mothers, who have worked relentlessly to bring the incident to light. While the investigation is still ongoing, the community remains focused on ensuring that justice is served for those involved in the crash.
