SAN ANGELO, TX — San Angelo police could be seen giving what appeared to be the driver of a burned-out sedan a sobriety test. Moments later, the woman was arrested and shoved into the back of a police cruiser.

The crash appeared to involve just the suspected drunk driver who crashed her sedan into the guardrail before it burst into flames.
