Two local women were involved in unrelated, quirky car crashes. First, Kara Leanne Griffin, 24, of Golden Gate Estates, reportedly rear-ended a farm trailer Thursday night.
Then, early Saturday morning, Karen Kittridge, 32, of Marco Island ran into a police car and then proceeded to run into a second police car near Cape Cod, Mass.
Griffin, 24 was arrested at 11:30 p.m., Thursday, and charged with DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.
Witnesses said Griffin rear-ended a farm trailer being pulled by a tractor along 23rd Avenue SW in the Estates. They also said she had nearly hit a pedestrian and ran over mailboxes, reports say.
She had a blood alcohol level of .088 percent and told the deputy she drank vodka, smoked crack and had taken Oxycodone, Clonopin, Baklaphine, Lirica, Tegradol, Paxcil, Dilantin and Lamiktal, reports say.
Griffin was groggy, and was taken to NCH North Naples Hospital.
