Pasadena woman suspected of DUI after series of crashes
PASADENA -- An allegedly drunken Pasadena woman crashed into a tree, a light standard and three parked cars before being followed by witnesses and jailed by police late Saturday, authorities said.
Nicole Sanders, 39, was booked on suspicion of drunken driving, Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said.
She was driving her SUV about 11:30 p.m. near Corson Street and Hill Avenue when she crashed into a light standard and a tree, he said.
Russ said Sanders then backed her vehicle up and continued driving, dragging a "significant portion" of the tree with her, and struck three parked cars around the corner in the 1500 block of Corson Street.
"Witnesses followed the suspect to the area of Sierra Bonita (Avenue) and Locust (Street)," the lieutenant said, where officers stopped her and took her into custody.
According to sheriff's booking records, Sanders was being held in lieu of $30,000 bail at the Pasadena Police Department's jail pending a court appearance.
