A Gainesville woman has been charged with DUI as well as leaving the scene of an accident after she flipped her vehicle on Price Road last week.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), deputies responded to the scene at around midnight on Oct. 7.
9-1-1 callers said they observed a woman limping away from her vehicle towards Thompson Bridge Road. A security guard at Lanier Village Estates also reported a suspicious person that fit the description of the driver lying in an embankment near the security booth.
Deputies located the driver, 28-year-old Yurissa Medina Aguirre of Gainesville, and she was treated by medical personnel at the scene and transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Gainesville with non-life-threatening injuries.
An investigation determined she was traveling westbound on Price Road at a high rate of speed before losing control of her vehicle and traveling off the roadway.
The vehicle vaulted end-over-end and landed on its roof. Her ID card as well as empty and open containers of alcohol were located inside the vehicle.
Aguirre was arrested at her residence on Monday on charges of reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, driving while unlicensed, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain lane, open container, and DUI.
She posted a bond of $13,220 and was released later the same day.
