Natalie Vieira, the alleged driver involved in a fatal hit and run on State Road, had bail set to $25,000 during a dangerousness hearing on March 15 in New Bedford District Court.

Vieira, who is transgender and identifies as male, is facing charges in connection to the March 3 hit-and-run crash on Route 6 that killed Westport native Stasha Lynn Faria. He was still in Bristol County Sheriff's Office custody as of March 20.

Vieira must hand over all his passport documents. He will also need to surrender his driver’s license and cannot operate any vehicles. Lastly, he must comply with electronic monitoring and home confinement, among other standard bail requirements. After the crash, Vieira allegedly contacted a person via text and asked for help in leaving the state.

According to court documents, Vieira was leaving a Lizzie's Liquors on Route 6 on March 3 when he allegedly fatally struck Faria in the area of 653 State Road at 6:59 p.m. He then allegedly fled the scene.

Dartmouth police released the description of a grey Chevrolet Uplander with front end damage believed to have been involved in the crash after interviewing witnesses and investigating the crash.

In court documents, Dartmouth police officers said they received a call about the suspected vehicle being at Mike’s Auto Body in Fall River.

Upon speaking to the shop's owner, police were able to locate Rosa Peixoto, who had the vehicle towed there on March 5. Officers questioned Peixoto at her Westport residence, and learned Vieira had allegedly been driving the car the night of the incident.

Vieira agreed to speak to police, and allegedly told officers he thought he hit a light pole and panicked so he turned around and drove home. Further investigation found he had an invalid license and the car was not registered.

Vieira was arrested on March 6.

Vieira has been charged with leaving the scene of personal injury and death, a felony. He is also charged with unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and operation of an unregistered vehicle, both misdemeanors. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Vieira previously worked for Chartwells, the food vendor service at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, according to university spokesperson John Hoey. He is not currently employed with the company anymore.

Vieira is scheduled to appear in court again on April 10.
