Phoenix woman accused of driving impaired with infant in car
PHOENIX (AP) - A woman has been arrested for allegedly driving impaired with her infant inside the vehicle, according to Phoenix police.
They said 33-year-old Sussan Lira was booked into jail Monday on suspicion of aggravated DUI and endangerment.
Police said Lira was unable to stand on her own and refused a breath test at the scene.
Court paperwork shows Lira’s vehicle was found up against a metal fence after the crash.
When officers approached the vehicle, they reported smelling alcohol and found two empty bottles in the car.
Police said a witness to the crash pulled the baby girl out of the vehicle with the car seat attached and it wasn’t buckled or restrained in any way.
