A 38-year-old Spotsylvania woman caused an auto accident late last night due to reckless driving and alcohol.

On December 7th at approximately 5:47 p.m. Deputy C.M. Sterne responded to the intersection of Banks Ford Parkway and Celebrate Virginia Parkway for an auto accident. It was discovered the first driver had the right of way and proceeded through the intersection. The second driver also assumed she had the right of way and proceeded through the intersection. Any physics professor will tell you two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.

It was determined the second driver was indeed at fault due to not having the right of way. While conversing with that driver, she admitted to consuming one beer. She also had signs of being intoxicated.

The driver was charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, refusal, and obstruction of justice. She was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $5,000 secured bond. Luckily, there were no serious injuries involved in the crash.
