A Reno woman, who was injured on Sunday when she lost control of her blue 1991 Mazda on Highway 395 in Indian Hills, had been drinking, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Cecelia Montegue Esler, 57, was southbound near Mica Drive at about 12:09 p.m. when she drifted out of the fast lane and across the slow lane before leaving the road and rolling down the embankment.
Esler was the only occupant of the vehicle, and was transported by East Fork medics to Carson Valley Medical Center.
A preliminary breath test revealed Esler had a .25 blood alcohol content.
She was cited for driving under the influence and failure to drive within her lane.
Esler's was the weekend's second accident.
