A Daly City woman has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs and causing great bodily harm after allegedly causing a crash that injured a biker while driving with methamphetamine in her system, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
The woman, 47-year-old Sarah Olivencia, has three prior driving under the influence convictions.
Olivencia allegedly made a sudden left turn into a bike lane on Cañada Road on April 26, causing a biker — visiting from Germany — to swerve to avoid her and fall from her bike. The fall put the victim directly in the path of a second incoming car, who swerved to avoid the biker but hit her bike, Wagstaffe said.
The victim was transported to Stanford Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries.
Olivencia told officers who arrived at the scene that she was on prescription medication. A blood test came back negative for alcohol but positive for methamphetamine, amphetamine and hydrocodone, Wagstaffe said. A search of her car revealed a variety of prescription drugs.
After Olivencia was arrested and transported to the county jail, she was found with two bags of methamphetamine on her person and was subsequently charged with bringing drugs into the jail.
Her preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 28, and her bail — which she has not posted — is set at $150,000.
