Driver Rolls Vehicle, Arrested for DWI, LIVINGSTON, June 9, 2012 - At approximately 1:25 pm on June 9, 2012, a red 1998 Ford Explorer driven by Lena Green, 27, of Livingston, was north-bound on US-146. Green attempted a right turn onto E. Capps road but went into the turn too fast. Green's vehicle left the road to the left and rolled coming to rest upright. Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with Deputy David Ramsey with the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Troopers Chris Cain and Sergeant Nita Bowen with the Texas Highway Patrol. According to Green, another vehicle forced her to leave the road causing the accident. Trooper Cain immediately began investigating the scene. As it turns out, there was no other vehicle. According to witnesses who saw the wreck happen, there was no other vehicle involved, and evidence from Trooper Cain's investigation pointed to a single vehicle accident. Trooper Cain conducted a field sobriety test and placed Green under arrest for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Additionally, alcoholic beverage was pulled from Green's wrecked vehicle including jello shots and a bottle of liquor.
