PENSACOLA, Fla. — A 60-year-old Pensacola woman has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol for the third time following a hit-and-run crash that left people injured, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers responded Tuesday night to a crash at Pace Boulevard and West Jordan Street.
The woman, Gay Lanzarotto, is accused of hitting two vehicles there and then leaving the scene. EMS was called to treat the victims of one of the crashes.
Investigators said Lanzarotto then drove away and crashed into a utility pole, turned onto Fairfield and hit another pole. When troopers located her, they described her as unsteady on her feet, slow to respond, with slurred speech and repetitive questions and statements. As she reached for her paperwork, she fell face first into the floorboard, troopers said. EMS checked her for medical issues.
