Newberry woman arrested on DUI charge after crash sends motorcyclist to hospital
Staff report
NEWBERRY, Fla. – Diana Marie Rogers, 67, has been charged with DUI with injury to another person after officers determined that she was impaired following an accident that sent a motorcyclist to the hospital under a trauma alert.
At about 9:25 p.m. on Monday night, a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper responded to a crash at W. Newberry Road and NW 124th Blvd. The trooper reported that a Subaru Crosstrek and a motorcycle had been involved in the crash; one of the Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputies at the scene indicated that Rogers, the driver of the Subaru, appeared to be impaired.
The trooper noted that Rogers had difficulty standing up and that she could smell alcohol on her breath. Another trooper administered field sobriety exercises and reported that Rogers did poorly. A breath test at the jail reportedly produced samples of .146 and .148 g/210L, well above the legal limit of .08 g/210L.
Rogers has no criminal history. Judge Kristine Van Vorst ordered that a Transdermal Alcohol Device be fitted and that Rogers observe a curfew between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. and then released her on her own recognizance.

I hope she learned a lesson. I learned the hard way. I had the same charge. I went to prison for a year. I deserved it. She’s okay. She ain’t white so they won’t send her to prison.
She could still get sued by the victim, if he lives. And much worse if he doesn’t. 🤡👿
Sued for what? Her food stamps? Her welfare check?
Why do you assume she is on welfare or food stamps?
Prove us wrong, but she’s not
She is definitely NOT on food stamps! She’s has $$$$$$$ I know her. He needs to get a lot! She loves to play the “R” card all the time!
I think I know you 🤣🤣
Very good point it’s sad , but you’re right
It’s sad this had to happen. Drunk driving is serious enough without having to add in accidents. But one thing I notice was that this 67 year old did was stay at the scene, and cooperate with law enforcement and took the arrest as an adult should. She will have to live with consequences and punishment for her actions. She didnt flee, she didnt fight. I hope the motorcycle driver makes a quick recovery and t gf e injuries were not too severe.. Never a good thing to have an accident with a car when riding a motorcycle.
At least she is not an illegal alien.
Yeah, she might have liability coverage 🤑
