Photo & Story by BRIAN WOODS
Elyria – Elyria Police began receiving calls around 1 a.m. Sunday morning of a hit skip crash on Ohio Street. Our own Brian Woods was in the area and went over to check it out. When he arrived he found that the suspect vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, was still at the scene with the driver inside. Woods went to the Tahoe to see if he could help and found the driver to be unresponsive, slumped over the wheel. He quickly alerted the Police that the driver was still on scene and that she was passed out.

Just as Woods was finishing up with the Dispatcher Officers arrived on scene.

It took a few minutes but the Officers were able to wake the woman who thought she was inside of her living room at home. The woman said she had no idea that she had been involved in a crash and was being uncooperative with the Officers.

As Officers attempted to give the driver a field sobriety test at the scene they cut it short when the woman was not even able to stand on her own two feet. The Officers showed her the damage that she had caused to the pickup truck and the car ahead of it just before placing her into custody.
The woman was arrested for OVI and Failure to Control.
