Felony charges were filed Wednesday against a 25-year-old woman accused in a wrong-way drunken driving crash on the Riverside (91) Freeway in Anaheim that seriously injured three people.
Keiunche Thompsonporter is charged driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, driving under the influence with a blood-alcohol level exceeding the legal limit of .08, and driving on the wrong way on a highway causing injury, with sentence-enhancing allegations for inflicting great bodily injury.
Thompsonporter’s blood-alcohol level was allegedly .23, nearly three times the legal limit, at the time of last Sunday’s pre-dawn crash, according to the criminal complaint.
Thompsonporter was driving a 2017 Toyota Corolla east in the westbound lanes of the freeway, west of Cole Canyon, when the car slammed into a 2015 Kia Soul about 3 a.m., said CHP Officer Paul Fox.
The Kia driver and two passengers were hospitalized with broken bones and other serious injuries such as internal bleeding, Fox said.
The defendant was also hospitalized for injuries sustained in the collision. Her arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 31 at the North Justice Center in Fullerton.
