Woman Arrested after Crash in I-5

Motorists should never jeopardize their safety by driving around under the influence of drugs or alcohol as it is known to impair their judgment and cause accidents that may harm others on the road.

A female driver was taken into custody after an early Thursday morning crash that involved a big rig near Highway 50.

The woman, who was not immediately identified, was said to have crashed the red Ford Focus she was driving into the yellow barrels placed along Interstate 5 at about 3:30 am.

The impact of the vehicle into the barrels sent it spinning around before hitting a big rig. The woman told authorities that she had fallen asleep while driving but she was still arrested after submitting to a breathalyzer test.

Injuries of the rig driver and the woman were not reported immediately though it is very possible that they’ve sustained injuries in the said accident.

It is always best to think before driving and never attempt o drive if you know that you are not in the capacity to make good judgments, be alert, and keep your eyes on the road.
