(La Porte County, IN) - A driver who caused a motor vehicle crash Wednesday night fled then was found allegedly impaired by prescription drugs.

 

That’s according to La Porte County Police, who revealed the suspect hit two semi-trucks on Interstate 94 near U.S. 421 about 10 p.m.

 

Police said 38 year old Stephanie Crilley with the front end of her vehicle heavily damaged was followed by witnesses of the crash to nearby Love’s Travel Center where she was taken into custody.

 

She was impaired enough to seemingly want to fall asleep at times, police said. 

 

Crilley had no alcohol in her system but recovered from her vehicle was an empty prescription pill bottle of suboxone used for treating opioid dependence, police said.

 

Police said witnesses reported the Cedar Lake woman was driving recklessly for miles.
