A 48-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated after she was accused of causing a crash at West Cross Street and North Wallace Boulevard in Ypsilanti Thursday.
According to an incident summary from the Ypsilanti Police Department, the driver failed to stop about 6:50 p.m. when approaching a stop sign at the intersection, which was already blocked by traffic.
The woman's car rear-ended the last vehicle in the line. Police determined the woman was intoxicated, according to the summary.
She was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Charges are pending.

Lady, you are luckier than you deserve to be that I was nowhere near you when you made the choice to drink and then get behind the wheel. Say hello to your worst enemy ever.

After they accused her of drunk driving, they never should have let her back in the car.

I hate to play grammar police, but the headline implies that a woman was first accused of drunken driving, then subsequently crashed her car into another. More accurate would be the reverse: 'Woman who crashed vehicle into stopped traffic accused of drunken driving'.

Why don't they issue a public health notice against drunk drivers?
