According to a police report, an officer called to investigate the crash near East Altamonte Drive and Palm Springs Drive tracked down the suspect not far from the original scene.The suspect driver, identified as Brandy Danielle Marie Depaul, changed her story several times, according to the police report.
The report said the victim told police he was driving east on Altamonte Drive in the left turn lane to heard north on Palm Springs Drive, when he was rear-ended by suspect's minivan. The victim said he followed the vehicle into a nearby parking lot, where two people got out and walked away.
The victim said he got out of his car and walked toward the driver, who was still in the minivan, but she drove around him and turned north onto Palm Springs Drive, according to the report.Once police caught up to the suspect, the report said, she told officers she knew she was in an accident but couldn't find the other car. She later said she didn't stop because her children were hungry and she needed to shower, according to the report.
The report said Depaul "appeared to be very sluggish and drained and "swayed severely while trying to stand."After conducting a series of field sobriety tests, the officer arrested Depaul on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs accompanied by two children and for leaving the scene of a crash causing more than $50 damage without making any attempt to leave information.
Depaul was taken to the Seminole County Jail, where a breath test and urine samples were collected. Depaul was cited for leaving the scene of a crash, no proof of insurance, careless driving and DUI pending the results of the urine analysis.The two children were handed over to Depaul's boyfriend.
