A woman accused of leaving the scene of a deadly accident near Fredericton will have her court appearance delayed by three weeks. Vanessa Ricketson, 27, is facing charges related to the death of a 19-year-old man from Norton. She was supposed to choose a trial method in Fredericton provincial court on Tuesday. Allegations suggest that she drove away after hitting the man, who had stopped on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway near Oromocto to change a tire. Defense attorney Shane Hill, representing Emily Cochrane, requested a postponement for evidence disclosure, and a new court date of Sept. 1 was set by Judge Lyne Raymond. The victim, who remains unidentified by the police, had followed safety measures such as pulling far off the highway, wearing a reflective vest, and activating the vehicle’s hazard lights. The RCMP did not confirm if Ricketson was the individual of interest identified shortly after the incident in March. Ricketson was charged nearly four months after the event, and the police confirmed she is not currently in custody.
