Southern California mother arrested after drunkenly crashing car with kids inside, police say
A Southern California mother was arrested on suspicion of DUI after crashing her car with her children still inside.
On Memorial Day, Upland police responded to the collision near Campus Avenue and Arrow Highway in Upland just after 10 p.m.
The woman, who was driving a Chevy sedan, had crashed into the rear of a Jeep SUV that was parked on the side of the road.
Photos from the scene showed the woman's car sustained heavy front-end damage. The impact had shoved the Jeep onto a curb and left damage on the rear passenger side.
Police arrived at the scene and found two young children in the backseat of the woman's car. The children were uninjured, but the woman sustained minor injuries. Officers said the woman also appeared to be drunk.
In a video posted by Upland police, the woman appeared confused as to why she was being taken into custody.
She was arrested for felony DUI and child endangerment. Her children were later released into the custody of family members.
No further details, including the woman's identity, were provided as the case remains under investigation.

Colorado motorcyclists at fault for over 500 crashes in 2024, 162 died, according to CSP
Colorado State Patrol says there are still too many crashes across the state, and the most common involves the motorcycle community. Troopers say motorcyclists were at fault for 669 crashes last year, a 52% increase compared to 2023. Among these crashes, 162 people lost their lives statewide. Troopers say most of these crashes occur between 2 and 4 p.m. on Saturdays and the most common areas are on Interstates 25 and 70. Speeding continues to be the number one problem, according to CSP. This is followed by motorcyclists not being attentive on the roads, lacking experience, and driving under the influence. A motorcyclist drives down the highway on June 23, 2020 outside of Redstone, Colorado. RJ Sangosti/The Denver Post via Getty Images Lane splitting is another big reason for crashes. This is when a motorcyclist uses the highway lanes to drive between cars, which is illegal and dangerous, CSP says. "By going through those vehicles at highway speeds, you are causing, whether it be small or big, issues," Colorado State Patrol Trooper Gabriel Moltrer said. "A driver may not see you, so by coming close to that vehicle, you may cause them to panic, they could strike you or even somebody else." Troopers say with each ride, always wear your helmet, boots, jackets, and gloves. In case of a crash, these are the only protections you have for your head and body. They could save your life.

US imposes sanctions on El Chapo's fugitive sons, offers $10 million reward for their capture
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on the two fugitive sons of incarcerated Mexican Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman and announced a reward offer of up to $10 million each for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the men. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar who are believed to be currently located in Mexico. Guzman's other sons — Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez — are currently incarcerated in the United States. In May, federal prosecutors announced they would not seek the death penalty for Joaquin Guzman Lopez if he's convicted of multiple charges in Chicago. Sanctions were also imposed on a faction of the Sinaloa cartel known as the 'Chapitos,' or little Chapos, which has been identified as a main exporter of fentanyl to the U.S. as well as a regional network of Chapitos associates and businesses based in Mazatlan, Mexico, that allegedly engage in drug trafficking, extortion and money laundering. According to federal prosecutors, El Chapo smuggled mountains of cocaine and other drugs into the United States over 25 years. He was convicted in 2019 on multiple conspiracy counts and sentenced to life in a U.S. prison. 'At the Department of the Treasury, we are executing on President Trump's mandate to completely eliminate drug cartels and take on violent leaders like 'El Chapo's' children,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. The Sinaloa Cartel, through various incarnations, is Mexico's oldest criminal group, dating to the 1970s. One of their most lucrative businesses in recent years has been the production of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, blamed for tens of thousands of overdose deaths each year in the U.S. The Trump administration in February labeled the Sinaloa cartel a foreign terrorist organizations.
