(La Porte County, IN) - A woman has been accused of driving while impaired on drugs after crashing her vehicle in La Porte County in the midst of delivering pizza.

 

Kelly Eriksson, 38, has been charged with Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated.

 

According to La Porte County Police, her Chevy Equinox slid off an icy County Road 900 North last night and struck a utility pole near 500 West.

 

Eriksson, reportedly showing signs of impairment notably in her eyes and speech, had no alcohol in her system.  The woman explained that she had taken two different kinds of prescription medication earlier in the day.

 

One of the officers concluded she was impaired by one of the medications and unable to operate a vehicle safely. 

 

She was apparently out delivering as indicated by the discovery of a warmer bag containing a few boxes of pizza in her SUV's back seat, which wound up in a snow-covered ditch.

 

The driver was ultimately not injured.
