She sped off but then crashed into another car and a cyclist, said district attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough. This occurred in the 1900 block of Lawrence.

Martinez-Guerra was charged with three counts of criminal mischief, vehicular assault, four counts of criminal attempt to commit assault, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and driving under the influence.
