SIMI VALLEY WOMAN ARRESTED FOR DUI WHILE ON DUI PROBATION

A Simi Valley woman was arrested Friday evening after she crashed her car into another car on Old Woman Springs Road. About 8 p.m., Alana Charles, 26, was driving her 1999 Toyota truck northbound on OWS near Pipes Canyon Road when she crossed over the double yellow lines into the southbound lane, hitting the left side of a 1995 Ford Escort driven by Kalliope Bolanis, 56, of Joshua Tree. The collision sent Charles’ car out into the open desert where it overturned multiple times, before finally resting on its wheels. Responding CHP officer Robert Flocken concluded that Charles displayed symptoms of alcohol intoxication as she faded in and out of consciousness. Alana Charles sustained a broken right arm and facial abrasions from the crash. She was transported to the Yucca Valley airport where she was flown to Desert Hospital in Palm Springs. Kalliope Bolanis was not injured in the crash. Alana Charles was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence while on DUI probation with prior DUI convictions, and for driving without proof of insurance.
