Cops: Several Pedestrians Hit, Drunk Driver Arrested

A 20-year-old woman was arrested Saturday night for drunk driving after two cars collided, sending one of the cars plowing into several pedestrians, police said.

A pizza delivery car was turning at the intersection of Coronado and Thermal in Nestor when a BMW, driven by suspected drunk driver Andrea Ramirez, 20, slammed into it, according to police.

"After the collision, the car went to the right, and up onto the sidewalk and struck four or five pedestrians that were on the sidewalk," said Ron LeMaster with the San Diego Police Department.

One of the victims suffered what police said was a significant leg injury.

Ramirez was arrested for DUI. More charges could be filed when it's determined who was at fault, officers said.
