Woman accused of crashing twice while drunk
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) _ Authorities say an 18-year-old Tampa woman who was driving drunk caused two vehicle crashes in less than 20 minutes.
Police say Lina Hincapie-Aristizaba hit the first vehicle and drove off early Saturday morning, followed by the woman she hit. She then rear-ended another vehicle about 19 minutes later, farther down the same road.
Officers who responded to the crash reported that Hincapie-Aristizaba smelled like alcohol and appeared to be intoxicated. Tests showed she had blood-alcohol levels of .160 and .154. State law forbids anyone with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher to drive.
Hincapie-Aristizaba was charged with two counts of DUI and one count of leaving the scene of an accident with injury. She was later released on $3,000 bail.
