A North Platte woman has been cited for drunk driving following an early morning crash.

On March 18, at 147 AM, an officer responded on the report of a traffic accident.

It was reported that the crashed vehicle had been driven the wrong way on Rodeo Rd, then it hit a curb and landed in the ditch on the southwest corner of Buffalo Bill and Rodeo Rd.

The driver was determined to be 34 year old Sally Hipwell. The officer suspected that Hipwell was under the influence, and she did fail a preliminary breath test. Further testing was done at the LCSO jail, producing a result of .264.

Hipwell was charged with driving under the influence, however, due to injuries and the need for further medical treatment she was cited and released at the Great Plains Health.
