(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte area woman is accused of having way too much to drink in a head on collision she caused  that seriously injured the other driver.

 

La Porte County Police said she also had drugs on her possession.  The crash happened last Friday evening on State Road 39 at 1000 North.

 

Police said 50 year old Angelique Kepshire was southbound near the Michigan line when she failed to negotiate a curve and veered over the center line, striking the oncoming driver head on.

 

The other driver, David Workman, was taken to the hospital with a laceration to his head that was down to his skull, police said.  He also complained of extreme pain.

 

Police said Kepshire denied having anything to drink, but her blood alcohol level was over four times the legal limit.  Psychedelic mushrooms and a THC vape pen were allegedly found in her purse.

 

Kepshire is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 5 felony operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury and possession of marijuana. She was being held in the La Porte County Jail on $15,000 bond.
