The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a felony driving while intoxicated charge against a Joplin woman today following a two-vehicle accident 5:50 p.m. Wednesday on MO 66 one mile west of Joplin.
Bond was set at $10,000 cash only for Brandie Lynn Duvall, 46.
According to the Highway Patrol report, Duvall, driving a 2012 Dodge Journey, failed to yield and struck a 2014 GMC Terrain driven by a 60-year-old Baxter Springs, Kansas woman in the side. The woman was taken to Mercy Joplin with serious injuries.
According to the probable cause statement, Duvall told a Highway Patrol trooper she had not had anything to drink but later changed her story and said she had a "glass of wine hours before the crash."
A preliminary breath test showed 0.222, according to the statement.
