An 18-year-old accused of shoving her 16-year-old friend off a 60-foot bridge in Washington State was charged with reckless endangerment on Friday.
Prosecutors filed the charge against Taylor Smith, 18, after Jordan Holgerson, 16, suffered five broken ribs and other serious injuries from plunging 60 feet off a bridge in Moulton Falls on August 7.
“I accept the charges maturely, and all I can do is hope for the best for Jordan and myself,” Smith told ABC News Friday night after the charges were filed.
If convicted, Smith faces up to one year behind bars and a $5,000 fine.
A viral video of the incident showed Holgerson plunging 60 feet into the Lewis River in Moulton Falls, causing her to suffer five broken ribs and other injuries. Holgerson was standing on the bridge when Smith allegedly came up from behind and pushed her.
Extended video of the incident obtained by NBC News showed Smith repeatedly encouraging Holgerson to make the jump, despite Holgerson’s hesitation.
“Just go. You promised you would do it,” Smith said.
