LAS VEGAS » A 29-year-old Bulgarian woman was ordered to stand trial on a felony hit-and-run charge in a crash that killed a grandfather pushing a stroller on the dirt shoulder of a busy Las Vegas road.

Galina Stoyanova Kilova sat with shackled hands folded in her lap while witnesses identified her as the driver of a gray Honda Civic that swerved into the desert around slower traffic, plowed into 63-year-old Michael Grubbs, and kept driving.

"I can’t get it out of my head," Dustin Krause, 36, a pool maintenance businessman, said outside court after testifying. "I wish I could unsee it."

Grubbs’ 18-month-old granddaughter was bloodied by cuts and scrapes on her face in the overturned stroller, according to Christine Turner, a passer-by who unstrapped the crying child and scooped her into her arms after the Nov. 24 crash.

An aunt, Michelle Houston, one of about a dozen friends and family members who attended Wednesday’s preliminary hearing, said the child didn’t receive lasting injuries. Houston didn’t testify. She said the family was devastated at the death of Grubbs just days before Thanksgiving.

"I just want justice to be served," she said.

Kilova also didn’t testify during the preliminary hearing. Her lawyer, Herb Sachs, maintained there was no evidence that Kilova knew her car had struck anyone.

Justice of the Peace William Jansen said he found probable cause to believe Kilova was the driver, knew she had been in a crash and left the scene. He scheduled her arraignment for Jan. 12.

Sachs said Kilova will plead not guilty. She could face up to 15 years in prison if she is convicted of failure to stop at the scene of a crash causing injury or death.

"It happened very fast," Krause testified, snapping his fingers four times to tell how quickly the tragedy unfolded. He said he was sure Kilova knew she’d been in an accident.

Krause was merging his Jeep Cherokee, towing a utility trailer, into a line of cars in an area on Rainbow Boulevard where three paved lanes became two. He said he noticed the gray Honda behind him approaching too fast, then swerving into the desert and heading for Grubbs.

"I saw the car dart out and I saw what was going to happen," Krause said. "I saw the man flying up in the air. Then the car hit my trailer."

Krause testified he tried to follow the Honda Civic, but lost it when it pulled into a fast-food restaurant parking lot.

Matt Davis, 36, a former U.S. Army combat medic, testified he pulled his black Lexus sedan off the road the moment he saw the gray car hit Grubbs. He tried to help the man, who Davis said had an obvious severe head injury. Grubbs never regained consciousness before paramedics arrived and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Kilova surrendered to police eight days after the crash, on Dec. 2.

She was initially released on $20,000 bail but was taken back into custody Dec. 9 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for having an expired U.S. entry visa.

Authorities say she entered the U.S. in 2006 on a visa that permitted her to stay in the country for six months.

Kilova is now jailed on $100,000 bail.

Prosecutor Eric Bauman has said Kilova has a 2007 conviction for misdemeanor driving under the influence in a non-injury crash.
