Crash Alert: 2 children hurt after alleged drunk driver crashes into car in Grand Island

GRAND ISLAND, NE – A driver was arrested for DUI after she slammed into a parked car in Grand Island while impaired with two children in the backseat without seatbelts on Sunday morning, according to KSNB.

Maresy Eliza Rabanales Estrada, 25, was allegedly drunk when she crashed into a parked car on the 1200 block of West Anna Street early Sunday morning.

A bystander helped a three-year-old and a six-year-old out of Rabanales Estrada’s vehicle. Neither child was wearing a seatbelt, and both had injuries. First responders transported them to an area hospital.

Police attempted to have Rabanales Estrada perform a breathalyzer test, but she blew a false high reading. Authorities ordered a blood test to find out what her BAC was.
