NICE, Calif. – An Arizona woman injured in a Tuesday night crash has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Articia Allen, 33, of Kaibeto, Ariz., was arrested following the crash, and was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital for treatment of her injuries, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Steve Tanguay.

At 11 p.m. Morgan Weiper, 30, of Lakeport was driving his 2003 Toyota Tacoma truck westbound on Highway 20, approaching Lakeview Drive, and as he entered the intersection with Lakeview Drive, a 1983 silver Mazda RX-7 driven by Allen entered the intersection traveling eastbound, Tanguay said.

Allen turned the Mazda to the left directly in front of Weiper, who Tanguay said veered to the right in an attempt to avoid a collision.

The front of the Mazda struck the left front of the Toyota truck, which continued to the west and struck a stop sign and a fence, Tanguay said.

Weiper was wearing his seat belt at the time of the collision and claimed no injuries, however, Tanguay said Allen – who was not seat belted – suffered injuries to her head. Northshore Fire transported her to Sutter Lakeside Hospital for treatment of her injuries.

Tanguay said CHP Officer Kory Reynolds is investigating the collision.
