WARRENSBURG, N.Y. (AP) — A 24-year-old upstate New York woman who was driving a van for a company that provides services for people with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries is facing a driving while intoxicated charge after crashing the van into two vehicles with two clients inside her vehicle.

The Post-Star of Glens Falls reports (http://bit.ly/2exuXMB ) that Brianna Norton, of Queensbury, also is charged with endangering the welfare of a mentally incompetent person, failure to keep right, and having an open container in a motor vehicle.

The accident happened Friday evening in Warrensburg when Norton swerved into oncoming traffic, slammed head-on into a Subaru, and ricocheted into a parked Ford pickup.

Warren County Sheriff's deputies say no injuries were reported.

Deputies say Norton could face additional charges pending results of a blood test.
