The driver was taken immediately to a local hospital where she was tested for drugs and alcohol impairment. But, she was released. It would seem safe to say those were not a factor. Witnesses said she appeared not to be using a cell phone at the time of the incident. If she is found to be negligent and at fault, there is a strong possibility she could lose her license and go to prison for at least a year.
