A single-vehicle crash in Romulus led deputies to a drug-impaired driving arrest and a serious felony charge.
Seneca County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 28-year-old Waterloo woman following the investigation, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies responded around 10 a.m. Dec. 28 to a property damage accident on State Route 96. Investigators said the vehicle was traveling south when it left the roadway and struck a ditch. No injuries were reported.
Deputies identified the driver as Kimberly Donahue, 28, of Waterloo. Following the crash investigation, deputies determined she was operating a vehicle while impaired by drugs, authorities said.
