In the early hours of October 15, 2024, at approximately 1:16 a.m., a traffic collision occurred at the intersection of Los Angeles Avenue and Hitch Blvd in Moorpark. Authorities responded to reports of a white Tesla that had crashed into a power pole, leaving the vehicle off the roadway. The driver, a solo female occupant, remained trapped inside the car and was audibly distressed, screaming at the top of her lungs.
Upon arrival, officers quickly realized that the woman was highly intoxicated and displaying erratic behavior. She became uncooperative with first responders, swinging and throwing punches at them, as captured in multiple video clips. Despite her resistance, the woman was eventually restrained and transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital with injuries that remain unknown at this time.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers at the scene confirmed that the woman was driving under the influence of alcohol. In addition to the DUI charges, she is also facing pending charges for assaulting a firefighter and paramedics.
