A North Providence Rhode Island Police officer‘s cruiser was recently struck head-on by a woman on Douglas Avenue at about 1 A.M.
The young lady’s Jeep crossed the center line and hit the police cruiser, both cars resulting with heavy front-end damage. The Fire Department had to free the officer, who was trapped inside his vehicle. His personal injuries involve a broken arm and some bruises.
The uninjured defendant was charged with a DUI involving bodily injury and driving to endanger resulting in personal injury. Investigators have reported that the woman’s blood-alcohol level measured .130 and .132 – both above the legal limit of .08. She was also charged with motor vehicle violations.
