A WOMAN accused of killing a father during a hit-and-run shared a shocking post the night of the man’s death.
Haley Layman, 25, was arrested after she allegedly killed a man who was riding a bicycle.
Police reports state that the hit-and-run accident resulted in the death of Bobby Green, local CBS affiliate WCAX reported.
Layman allegedly admitted to drinking while driving and that she drove her car to a nearby county to be repaired after the accident.
The victim’s daughter, Clara Green, claimed that Layman shared disturbing posts just hours before she was arrested.
“Rest in peace Bobby Dan,” Layman allegedly posted on Facebook.
“You’re going to be missed so much.”
The 25-year-old also reposted Clara Green’s post begging for help from other to find the person who killed her father.
“I know I don’t post a lot of personal stuff and I never ask for anything, but please if anyone knows who hit my daddy…Please I’m begging anyone,” Clara wrote in the post.
Clara said that she will “pray” for whoever was responsible for her father’s death.
“ I don’t hate [them],” she said in an interview with WCAX.
“I just wish [they] would have made a different decision that night to not drink and drive.”
Green’s daughter said that the driver hit him so hard that it “tore up his right leg and ripped his pinky off on his right hand.”
Thankfully, a nearby neighbor sat with Green in his final moments.
“She went and got a flashlight and found him, and she went and got a blanket for him because he said he was cold and sat there and prayed with him,” Clara said.
Unfortunately, the man died only a few minutes after the ambulance showed up.
“The Tennessee Highway Patrol officer said that he had a piece of the headlight and stuff, and then someone else said that the windshield wiper was ripped off the car, too,” Clara recalled.
Layman didn’t call 911 after she allegedly hit the man, and she was arrested by the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee less than 24 hours after Green’s death.

Clara said that she wishes the driver had done the right thing.

“He was good and he didn’t deserve that.”
Despite any difficulties, Clara said she loved her father unconditionally.
Green’s daughter set up a GoFundMe to help pay for her father’s funeral costs.
