A 30-year-old woman has been charged with drunk driving in connection with a bizarre crash on the Pattullo Bridge that damaged dozens of vehicles last year.

The chaotic scene started when a burgundy-coloured sedan started barreling down the centre lane of the crossing on Aug. 6, sending motorists in both directions swerving to avoid collisions.

About 30 vehicles were damaged before the sedan slammed into a concrete divider and finally came to a halt.

“I’ve never seen a collision of this magnitude,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott of the New Westminster Police Department.

“Our department’s very thankful that no one was injured.”

On Tuesday, more than seven months after the incident, police confirmed a string of counts had been approved against one driver.

Surrey resident Jillian Bodnar is charged with dangerous driving, impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol content of over .08.

Part of the Pattullo Bridge crash was caught on the dashboard camera of a tow truck. Police said their Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Team also looked at a variety of forensic evidence and interviewed several drivers and witnesses during the course of their investigation.

Bodnar is scheduled to appear in court in New Westminster on April 13.
