Reports state the DJ’s blood alcohol level was high enough for her driver’s license to be revoked. According to witnesses, the DJ failed to call first responders immediately after the accident and instead sat with her dog.

Early this morning, I think a deliveryman died in front of my home. There was an accident in front of Hotel Eliana. A woman in her 20s drove drunk. After the accident, she was sitting with her dog and didn’t cooperate with police. When police tried to separate her from her dog, she cried and asked to call her mother. After several minutes of struggling, police were able to get her in handcuffs.

The woman who had caused the accident is a DJ who is signed to a label. When we called her, her mother picked up. Her mother told us while crying on the phone that her daughter didn’t mean to (cause the accident) and stated that news reports weren’t covering her daughter favorably.
