Correa was also injured and was transported to a local hospital and later booked into Kern County Jail once she was discharged.

In the probable cause declaration, Correa admits in the report that she was aware of the dangers of driving drunk.

Correa had a blood alcohol concentration of .088% and was driving without a license.

When conducting a standardized field sobriety test, Correa was unable to perform some of the actions due to pain from the collision.

In the offense report, the officer states that Correa made comments during the arrest, saying "I'm never seeing my kid, huh, just because I drove and drank one, two drinks."

Correa, who was in court on Tuesday, faces 10 charges — 8 being felonies and the other 2 are infractions.
