65-year-old Debra Hoskins of Carmi was involved in a vehicle accident Wednesday on White County Road 825 North near Carmi. Her vehicle crossed the center line and collided with a semi-truck. After the impact, her vehicle veered off the road into a ditch and came to a stop. A White County ambulance was dispatched to the scene, but Hoskins refused medical treatment.
During the investigation, authorities found that Hoskins’ blood alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit for DUI in Illinois. She was taken into custody and transported to the White County jail and charged with driving under the influence. Hoskins was later released on a court summons. The semi-truck driver, an employee of Roark Trucking of Carmi, was unharmed in the accident.
