Following a brief inquiry, authorities successfully located the vehicle and identified the driver as Laura Decroce.
Decroce was subsequently arrested and charged with driving under the influence, aggravated vehicular assault due to injuries sustained by the other driver in the crash, careless driving, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, failure to report a crash, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash with injuries, and refusal to provide breath samples for testing.
Decroce was released pending a court appearance.
