A highway sign leg was sheared off and the woman couldn't recall what had happened between the crash and when she just previously left a local Wal-Mart. She was examined at the scene, declined medical attention, and was cited and released to a family member. The citations were for "inhalation (of) fumes to cause certain reaction" and "driving while intoxicated/drugged condition."

After being released she borrowed her sister's boyfriend's car and drove to Wal-Mart to obtain more computer dusting spray. After leaving the store, a mere 4 hours after her first crash, she "took out another sign and ran across the road into a ditch", landing 500 feet from the scene of her earlier crash.
