Caitlin Riggs, 36, of Wakefield, RI was headed south on Anderson Avenue at Edgewater Road when her 2015 Nissan Versa slammed into a 2011 Dodge Ram shortly after 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9, Deputy Police Chief Vincent Capano said.
The Versa landed on its roof outside the A.K. Macagna Funeral Home, while the pickup had its bed crumpled and a tire flattened.
The other driver, a 46-year-old Fairview man, was OK, responders said.
Riggs, meanwhile, climbed out of the Versa and began walking north on Anderson Avenue, Capano said.
An officer caught up to Riggs a block away, at Greenmount Avenue, the deputy chief said.
She was brought by ambulance to Palisades Medical Center, where blood was taken, he said.
Once the results are in, Riggs will have received 14 summonses for, among other offenses, DWI, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a crash and driving while suspended with no registration or insurance, Capano said.
ABC Towing removed the vehicles. The Versa was impounded as evidence.
