Sorry, but confusing headline
I thought it meant that she got out of the hospital for crashing her car and THEN got busted for a different OUI.
Second time, same location
This was at the corner of Sparks Street and Huron Avenue. The vehicle was heading east on Huron, where there is a big curve, and instead went straight into the wall. I saw the damage the next morning when I went on a walk in our neighborhood.
About 25 or 30 years ago another car crashed at the same location. That time, the car was being chased by the police and ended up going into a tree in front of the same house. It was the middle of the afternoon. I heard the crash from 2 blocks away, in summer with the windows open.
After the earlier crash, the owners of the house erected the stone wall -- which was pretty much demolished in yesterday's crash. At least the wall kept the car from crashing into their house.

Brings up an interesting point; does anyone know how support groups for substance abuse are functioning at the moment? I could see the isolation and idleness being dangerous conditions for people battling addiction.
