A Vancouver woman who was driving under the influence when she crashed head-on into another vehicle on Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard in November was sentenced Tuesday to five months in jail, court records show.
Susan L. Johnson, 51, pleaded guilty in Clark County Superior Court to vehicular assault-DUI in connection with the Nov. 13 collision. She may be able to serve her sentence through the jail’s work-release program, which allows inmates to work outside in the community and be confined when they’re not working.
Police responded shortly after 6:30 p.m. to Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard and Northeast 131st Avenue and saw fire personnel working to extricate the driver from a 1999 Buick Park Avenue, according to a probable cause affidavit. That driver, identified in court records as David McMullin, suffered a broken left femur.
Two witnesses told police the crash was caused by Johnson, who was driving a Nissan Altima, the affidavit states.
