Suspected drunk driver accused of driving onto Colorado airport runway
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A drunk driver crashed through a fence at a small airport and drove onto a runway before getting stuck atop electrical equipment, authorities said.
No planes were taking off or landing at Grand Junction Regional Airport when the crash occurred early Monday, the Transportation Security Administration said.
Jamie L. Bowden was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and other counts, police said. No phone number could be found for her, and it was not known whether she had an attorney.
Her car went off a road, came "barreling through the fence and just kept on going," said airport manager Rex Tippett.
