A Lowell, Massachusetts woman who fled the scene of an accident in Connecticut, has been arrested by Connecticut State Police.
On Christmas night around 6:45 PM, Connecticut State Police responded to I-84 eastbound, in the area of exit 67 in the town of Vernon, Connecticut for a report of a motor vehicle evading motor vehicle collision.
Connecticut State Police said, “The reporting party advised Emergency Dispatchers that their vehicle was struck by a purple Honda Accord, which failed to stop and continued eastbound on I-84. After learning this information, Troopers successfully located the vehicle on I-84 prior to exit 72. The vehicle was driving erratically and failed to maintain the established lane of travel.”
After pulling the vehicle over, Connecticut State Police said they identified the operator of the vehicle as Pheak Si of Lowell, Massachusetts. There was also one other adult as well as two children in the vehicle.
“After briefly speaking with Si, Troopers suspected her to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Si was requested to participate in the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which she did not perform to standard,” Connecticut State Police Said. “As a result, Si was arrested.”
Si was charged with operating under the influence, failure to maintain lane, evading responsibility at a Motor Vehicle Collision, and two counts of risk of injury to a child.
