INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD officers arrested a woman on a preliminary charge of drunk driving following a crash with a bicyclist Wednesday.
Around 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 23, officers responded to a report of a personal injury accident near the intersection of West Washington Street and South Rybolt Avenue, near Holt Road.
According to court documents, 25-year-old Cameron Leigh Beaver, of Indianapolis, was driving an SUV that struck a man riding a bicycle.
Court documents say medics took the victim to Eskenazi Hospital for fractures of his right arm and left leg.
According to court documents, police spoke with a witness, who lives near the intersection, and said he heard a loud crash. The witness said he then went outside and saw a man underneath the SUV.
Police then spoke with Beaver, who was driving the SUV. Court documents say police noticed her eyes were bloodshot, she smelled of alcohol and struggled to walk.
According to court documents, Beaver told police she was on her way home from a friend's house and had been drinking. Beaver also allegedly told police she smokes marijuana daily.
Police then took Beaver to Eskenazi Hospital, where she allegedly blew a 0.276, which is more than three times the legal limit.
Police arrested Beaver for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, causing serious bodily injury. According to court documents, she also told police she didn't have a valid driver's license.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office formally charged Beaver with causing serious bodily injury when operating a vehicle while intoxicated and knowingly or intentionally operating a motor vehicle without ever receiving a driver's license.
Beaver's pretrial conference is scheduled for Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m.
