Woman accused of crashing into trailer, fence, tree charged with assault

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A woman who was accused of repeatedly crashing her 2004 Honda Pilot on Friday night was charged on Monday with a misdemeanor and three felonies in Boone County.

Cassandra Albright was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, two counts of first-degree assault and a count of leaving the scene of an accident. Police wrote in a press release that she is from Kingdom City, but court information says she is from Columbia. She is currently at University Hospital and is in fair condition. A no-bond warrant was ordered.

The probable cause statement says Albright drunkenly crashed the vehicle into a residence on Stevendave Drive that contained several children and two adults before crashing into a fence and a tree.

The statement says Albright was upset that one of the victims did not allow her to drive her child and tried to stop her from driving in general because she was drunk. Albright then punched the victim in their face before getting into the driver’s seat and crashing the vehicle, the statement says.

Multiple people, including youth, told law enforcement about seeing the crashes, the statement says. After crashing into the home, she allegedly drove westbound on Stevendave Drive and crashed into the fence, the statement says.

Police wrote they found Albright laying on her back outside of the vehicle.
