A woman was arrested for drugged driving after she flipped her car with her two children on Sunrise Highway in Bohemia, Suffolk County authorities said.
Darlene Graham was driving her Nissan Altima eastbound when she lost control of the car, which overturned and landed in an upright position near the center median by Lakeland Avenue at 8:30 a.m., according to the county sheriff’s office.
Deputy sheriffs found the 29-year-old Ronkonkoma woman to be under the influence of drugs with her children, ages 3 and 6, in the vehicle, authorities said. All three were treated for minor injuries.
