Boston City Councilor Kendra Lara pleads not guilty to charges from June crash

Boston City Councilor Kendra Lara pleaded not guilty Wednesday to traffic charges stemming from a June crash that left her son injured, a home in Jamaica Plain wrecked, and the homeowner accusing the elected official of not caring about the damage she caused.

Lara appeared in court Wednesday where an assistant clerk magistrate found enough evidence to move forward with an arraignment later in the day on six charges.

Her lawyer, Attorney Carl Williams, entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf after police said she was speeding down Centre Street, crashed into a house, and endangered her son by not putting him in a car seat.
