The cops sent the media a release yesterday saying that Castillo was driving the SUV which hit a motorbike and a pedestrian on Mahogany Street on Tuesday evening. Well, Castillo was outraged to hear her name called as the culprit in an accident where she was only a witness. Today she told us what she saw:..

Rashawn Castillo, Wrongly accused of causing accident
"I saw an age able man wearing white - he was crossing the street at the same time, when a motorcycle driven by the young man Cuthkelvin was heading down Mahogany Street and while the young man was crossing the street. (When crossing street, people tend to think that can beat the traffic) The man dashed across the street and the cycle hot him at the same time, causing him to fly up in the air and crashing down headway. So while that happened, I was like 10 seconds away from this whole scene, so I literally brake the car a little and then went into the parking area where I normally park. Upon that I came out the vehicle. I was literally in shocked, because first time I saw and experience something like that in my whole life."

And that security video you saw is what Castillo dug up after she heard us read the police report on TV. She says the whole misunderstanding started with people who didn't see the accident claiming that they did see it:

Rashawn Castillo, Wrongly accused of causing accident
"I couldn't believe that the people who are spreading these rumors, the police would have taken it that far and cast the blame on me when I was literally innocent in this whole accident while it was taking place. I was the witness, I am supposed to be the one to explain to the police what had happened and unfortunately my name was the one that got called on the news hitting the man on the cycle. I literally cried because I thought about how people could be so heartless when I actually found out that there is actually a video that shows this exact thing how it happened. I was the most relief person and I was literally happy. I don't think anyone could have felt the way I felt when you heard you name and you know you didn't do anything - you know you were innocent, but to the public it look like I was the person who was wrong and I thank God that everybody knows that I didn't do it."

"And to the police who didn't do their investigations properly and took my name to the media without confronting me about anything, I would really want them to take a good look at this news and realize that sometimes you need to take step by step rather than just jump to conclusion."

Castillo added that the police at no time ask for her identification, so she was doubly shocked to hear them wrongly identify her as the culprit.
