Boca Raton police charged a 30-year-old motorist with DUI and leaving the scene of a hit-and-run accident after they allegedly found her blocks from the site of the crash unconscious in her vehicle.

Haley Hoxsie, 30, of Boynton Beach, was arrested following the Jan. 6 crash that brought officers to 2900 N. Military Trail, responding to a report of a hit-and-run accident. According to a police report, the victim called police to report the driver of a Chevrolet Equinox who drove into her driver’s side bumper, then continuing on while swerving in and out of the way of other vehicles. The driver whose car was struck told police the license plate number of the suspect vehicle.

Officers, less than 10 minutes later, located the suspect vehicle on Broken Sound Boulevard, pulled over on the wrong side of the road with a woman described in the report as being unconscious and slumped over the steering wheel. The engine was still on and the car was still in drive, the report said.

The driver, identified in the report as Hoxsie, was allegedly “heavily intoxicated and unresponsive,” and was brought to a local hospital. Her condition was such that police were unable to perform field sobriety tests or breath tests, though she eventually consented to a blood draw. She allegedly admitted to officers she consumed tequila with dinner, and that her driver’s license was suspended.

Hoxsie was charged with leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, DUI and driving with a suspended license. She was released on a combined $1,000 bail for the three charges.
