Drunk Woman Strikes Biker with 4 Children in Her Car


A man riding his bike in Portland, Oregon was hit from behind from a car that sped off after knocking him off of his bike, luckily without being seriously injured.  A couple who witnessed the hit and run followed the car a few blocks where the driver was arrested. 
The driver, Jennifer Baker, a 29-year-old nanny, was arrested for multiple charges stemming from the incident after she was found to have a blood alcohol content over 3 times the legal limit for a driver.  Baker had 4 children in her car at the time of the accident, who she dropped off on the sidewalk a few minutes after the accident. Police immediately found the children; who were uninjured but scared and crying after the traumatic experience.  Baker will be charged with a range of charges from reckless driving to criminal mischief for the hit and run as well as drunkenly driving with children in the car.
