Her car went over the median and across the eastbound lanes. Then it jumped the curb and crashed through the front door and window of Greenberg Dental, continuing through the wall before it finally stopped at the Skyline Chili restaurant next door.

Because of the early hour, neither business was open and had no one inside. Nobody was hurt. Trejo was charged with DUI. City workers came and secured the front of the building
