Bail for the Delaware County woman charged with hitting three boys with her car as she rushed to bring her daughter to a train was reduced today to $100,000.

Dawn Denise Snell, 42, of Lansdowne, had been ordered held on $1 million bail after her arrest last week.

A Delaware County judge ruled today that Snell can be released if she posts 10 percent of $100,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing in her case was continued.

On Tuesday, Snell was charged with reckless driving, accident involving death or injury, and other related crimes after she allegedly ran a red light, crossed into oncoming traffic lanes and onto a sidewalk where she struck the three boys from Upper Darby.

Philmon Beyene, 13, Jemel Brunswick, 13, remain hospitalized. Tyler Lowery, 12, was released on Saturday. The three were walking home from Beverly Hill Middle School when the accident occurred.
