Investigators determined a woman driving a white car “intentionally” rammed into the back of a black sedan near the intersection, causing the white car to veer into a tree and end up on its side with the driver trapped inside, police said.

The driver of the white car was taken to a hospital, where she was admitted in critical but stable condition. She will be booked into jail on suspicion of DUI once medically cleared, police said.
