A Juneau woman is facing a felony assault charge after allegedly driving drunk and causing a four-car collision on Egan Drive on Wednesday, police say.<\/p>\n
At about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the Juneau Police Department received multiple phone calls from drivers who reported a multiple-car collision on Egan inbound near the McDonald’s. JPD and Capital City Fire\/Rescue arrived to find three cars that had crashed together and one car, a Toyota Tundra, in the median.<\/p>\n
JPD Officer Don Ward said on scene that the driver of the Tundra hit the back of a Subaru, the Subaru hit the car in front of it and that car hit the car in front of it.<\/p>\n
“(The Tundra) ran into the very last car and slammed them all together,” Ward said.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Tundra, 40-year-old Eliseth Del Carmen Harman, was arrested for driving under the influence, JPD Lt. Krag Campbell said Thursday. Harman was also charged with third-degree assault, Campbell said, for injuring someone with a dangerous instrument (a car in this case).<\/p>\n
Campbell said one driver was treated for wrist and back pain. According to a JPD release Thursday<\/a>, the driver was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital for evaluation.<\/p>\n Third-degree assault is a class C felony, according to electronic court records. Driving under the influence is a class A misdemeanor. Harman’s breath-alcohol content was measured at 0.193 percent when she was taken to LCCC, the release states.<\/p>\n Police estimate the combined damage to the four cars was estimated at $16,000.<\/p>\n No injuries in a four-car crash on Egan inbound near the McNugget intersection, per @CCFR<\/a> Capt.
