(KAIR)--A Parkville, Missouri woman is accused of second degree murder in connection with the weekend traffic-related death of a Leavenworth teenager.

According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 27-year-old Amber Alexander was formally charged Tuesday with three counts stemming from the death of a 16-year-old bicyclist.

Police said Miranda Lynch was riding her bicycle early Saturday in Leavenworth when she was hit from behind by a vehicle and the driver fled the scene.

Lynch was taken to a hospital but died from her injuries.

Alexander was arrested by police Sunday.

Besides second-degree murder, Alexander was charged with an alternative DUI involuntary manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence.

Although a court appearance was not formally set as of Tuesday afternoon, Thompson, in the release, said it was possible that Alexander could appear in Leavenworth County District Court Wednesday morning.
