BIG DROP: Car Crashes Off I-235 Overpass
Investigators say a woman who drove her SUV off of I-235 and onto 22nd Street in West Des Moines was drunk at the time of the crash.
An incident report shows that a preliminary breath test taken by 29-year-old Cassandra Beverly of Waukee resulted in a blood alcohol content of .129. Iowa’s legal limit for BAC is .08.
The accident happened just before 2:00 a.m. Thursday. Police say Beverly was headed westbound on I-235 when she lost control and hit a guardrail, then her vehicle went airborne and dropped about 15 feet, rolling several times and coming to rest on a concrete barrier in the northbound lanes of 22nd Street.
