A 20-year-old woman from Kentucky has been arrested after police say she drove into a group of pedestrians in downtown Lexington in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Kaydence Carpenter, who is 20 and from Frankfort, Kentucky, is accused of driving her black Tesla Model 3 into a group of people at 2:20am local time on Sunday in downtown Lexington.
According to WKYT, she was reversing her car in a parking lot and then suddenly drove forward into the crowd, hitting several people and throwing some onto the hood.
She then drove the wrong way down Short Street before police stopped her.
Four pedestrians were injured in the incident.
Police say she was drunk and refused to take a breath test at the scene.
She later took a field sobriety test at the Fayette County Detention Center where police said she showed signs of being impaired.
Carpenter faces several charges including four counts of second-degree assault, first-degree wanton endangerment, DUI, reckless driving and allowing a person under 21 in a place where alcohol is sold.
She was released after posting a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Fayette District Court on Monday.
