Saturday evening DUI crash in Columbia
Emergency personnel responded about 6:45 p.m. Saturday to a hit-and-run crash in the 600 block of South Main Street at Centerville Road in Columbia.
Police said that a gray 2007 Mazda minivan driven by Cassandra R. Sanders, 36, of Columbia, was driving west on Centerville Road and failed to stop at the intersection of South Main Street, resulting in a T-bone crash into a white 2024 Jeep driven by Larry Simmons, 79, of Columbia, which was traveling north on Main Street.
The Mazda drove away from the scene, traveling south on Main Street and then turning onto northbound Route 3 before finally stopping on Route 3 at Carl Street due to mechanical issues.
Sanders was arrested for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.
A female passenger in Simmons’ vehicle was transported to Memorial Hospital in Belleville for treatment of minor injuries, police said.
