A Vallejo woman suspected of drunken driving crashed into another car on Highway 101 Sunday night, rolled her Jeep and was arrested by CHP officers.

Contura S. Hopkins, 42, was driving onto southbound lanes of the highway from the Healdsburg Avenue onramp when she made an abrupt and swift turning movement into the fast lane, the CHP said.

A Chevy Malibu was in the lane and the Jeep clipped the Malibu driven by Kathleen Jordan, 60, of Santa Rosa.

The Jeep overturned into the center divide and the Malibu hit a guard rail.

CHP officers responding to the 9 p.m. crash near Healdsburg arrested Hopkins on suspicion of drunken driving. She was taken to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center with minor injuries.

Her passenger, Elijah Hatch Jr., 47, of Vallejo also went to Kaiser to see if he was injured.

Two people in the Malibu went to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with suspected minor injured. Driver Jordan apparently was unhurt.
