This past Tuesday in Spring Hill, Florida, a woman was placed under arrest by local law enforcement for
driving under the influence (DUI) after she ran her minivan into the back of a school bus.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 45 year old Patricia Kluge was stopped by police after crashing her vehicle into the bus. Police asked her to take a
breath alcohol test, which revealed that her blood alcohol concentration was .242% at the time of the accident. Kluge hit a Hernando County school bus during the afternoon hours and it is reported that the bus did not have any students on board. However, the bus driver and an adult passenger incurred minor injuries from the crash.
Kluge was uninjured but she did resist arrest and struggled with police. She allegedly head-butted two officers before they were able to handcuff her.
Kluge was charged with DUI and resisting arrest with violence. Her bail has been set at $22,000.
