SACRAMENTO, CA - A woman was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, leading police on a pursuit and crashing into another car after running a red light Saturday night.
The collision happened at the intersection of Mack Road and Stockton Boulevard. A woman and a 10-year-old boy were inside the car that was hit. Police said they were T-boned by the suspected DUI driver while they were driving north on Stockton Boulevard.
Mia Holmes, 41, resisted police when they attempted to detain her, according to Sgt. Norm Leong of the Sacramento Police. Holmes had an 8-year-old boy in the car with her, though he is not her son. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, said Leong.
The major intersection was closed for about an hour while the scene was investigated.
"Tonight is unfortunately going to represent another five, six people being arrested for drunk driving, with a potential of one person being injured probably this weekend," said Sacramento police Sgt. David Hargadon. "And this whole thing is preventable."
With holiday parties in full swing, he said it's important to not have even one drink if you suspect you'll be driving during the evening.
