However, the driver lost control of the vehicle, crashing over multiple curbs and a small embankment. Witnesses at the scene reported that the driver attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended in the nearby woods.
The driver, identified as a 37-year-old female from Temple, was found to have taken multiple pills while trying to evade authorities. She was taken to Metroplex ER in Killeen for medical treatment, and DPS has stated that “multiple charges” will be filed once she is released.
