In the days ahead her legal team will attempt to resolve her legal problems by discussion with the Dallas County District Attorney."

Lowe was a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Adams Middle School. She walked into a police station and surrendered to police on Jan. 29

John Raidy was a student at Austin Elementary School. Raidy was crossing North Carrier Parkway at Holiday Hills Drive at about 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 24 when he was hit by a southbound vehicle that ran the red light. The vehicle "stopped briefly" but then fled the scene, police said.
