Columbia man arrested for DWI after crash

Columbia, MO

A Columbia woman was injured early yesterday in a two-vehicle collision allegedly caused by a drunken driver.

Maja A. Hill, 64, of Columbia was treated at Boone Hospital Center and released after the 1:10 a.m. collision at Route Z and St. Charles Road, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.

Hill was northbound on Route Z when a westbound Ford pickup drove into Hill’s path, and the vehicles collided.

The driver of the pickup later was arrested on suspicion of a third offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving while his license was revoked and failure to yield at an intersection, according to a highway patrol arrest report.

He was released from the Boone County Jail after posting a $4,500 bond.

The driver pleaded guilty in July 2006 in Boone County to leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident and excessive blood-alcohol level, according to court records. He received a six-month suspended jail sentence and was placed on two years of unsupervised probation.
