Deputies said Quiva appeared to be impaired and noticed the odor of alcohol on her breath. A 4-year-old child was also in the vehicle but neither were injured in the crash, according to a news release.

A traffic deputy determined that Quiva exhibited signs of impairment during a field sobriety test, and she was taken to the Polk County Jail, where breath test results showed .155 and .164 blood alcohol content, according to deputies. A blood alcohol level of .08 is considered to leave a person legally impaired.

Jail records showed Quiva was charged with one count DUI and one count child neglect for endangering the child in the van at the time of the crash.
