COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — A child was seriously injured in a three-car wreck caused by a suspected drunk driver in Colorado Springs Friday afternoon.

Officers arrested Odette Lopez Cordero on charges of vehicular assault, child abuse, and driving under the influence.

The injured child was a passenger in the van she was driving. That child was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

Lopez Cordero is currently in jail on a $10,000 bond. Her first court appearance is scheduled for Friday, April 21.
