Local woman suspected of DUI collides with 2 on scooters
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — A local woman is suspected of DUI and was arrested after crashing into two people riding electric scooters in South Lake Tahoe.
Alexandra Kazas, 26, was arrested and booked shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23. Kazas’ blood alcohol concentration tested 0.13, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08, South Lake Tahoe Police officials said.

Kazas had bail set at $75,000, but has since been released from jail. She faces one count DUI causing bodily injury and one count of DUI 0.08 alcohol causing bodily injury, both felonies.
