SPOKANE, WA (April 12, 2020) – Sunday evening, 50-year-old Jennifer Petrik and 53-year-old Kenen Pierce were arrested after a DUI collision on 1st Avenue.
 
According to witnesses, Petrik drove eastbound through a red light in her Jeep, and caused a collision shortly before 8:00 p.m. In addition, she was driving around 90 miles per hour.
 
When authorities evaluated her, she showed signs of impairment. Thus, authorities arrested her for DUI. Additionally, she was later taken to a local hospital for further treatment.
 
Meanwhile, the occupants from the other vehicle sustained minor injuries and were also taken to a local hospital.
 
Shortly after, Pierce responded to move one of the vehicles from the crash scene using his tow-truck. However, an officer noticed that there was a strong odor of marijuana from inside the tow-truck.
 
In addition, the tow-truck had several mechanical issues and crashed into a patrol vehicle, which left minor damage to both vehicles.
 
Moreover, a drug recognition expert confirmed that Pierce showed several signs of impairment. The authorities then arrested Kenen Pierce for DUI. No further information has been released at this time.
 
Driving under the influence is one of the most dangerous things you can do as a driver. If you find yourself unable to operate a vehicle, you always have other options. For example, you can request a taxi service, Lyft, or Uber 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
