If your friend was actually arrested for a hit and run accident where you actually caused the incident, you need to consult with an attorney for yourself first and then depending upon what that attorney advises you, then you can through legal counsel assist your friend in her criminal matter.
The last thing that you want to do is make a difficult situation worse for your friend. This is why you need to consult with an attorney. Good luck.
