(La Porte, IN) - Police say the driver of a speeding vehicle that crashed on the downtown La Porte overpass last night was heavily impaired by alcohol.

 

About 11 p.m., La Porte County Police said an officer clocked the northbound vehicle at 60 miles per hour on Pine Lake Ave.  The officer turned around and tried catching up but the suspect had increased her speed.

 

According to police, the vehicle soon veered across the center line and struck the concrete/steel divider on the overpass.

 

The vehicle went airborne, flipped and landed upside down on the overpass in the right northbound lane, police said.

 

Liliana Magana, 23, had an alleged blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.  Police said the La Porte woman was not injured.
