A 20-year-old Indiana woman accused of driving under the influence was arrested on several charges after reportedly pulling into the path of a deputy and causing them to crash into her vehicle.

Last weekend, a deputy with the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office was taken to the hospital for several injuries he sustained during a traffic accident when he slammed into a car that reportedly pulled into his path. His vehicle went off the road and landed in a ditch, while the other car, which was carrying three passengers, was stalled on the street. Additional sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Washington Police Department went to the location.

Most of the individuals involved in the accident needed medical attention, and the deputy, the driver of the other vehicle, and two passengers were taken to the hospital.
