A woman in a bathing suit crashed her SUV into a tree and another car in Delray Beach while she was drunk, Delray Beach Police said.

Police say Maria Ortiz, 42, of Delray Beach, crashed her SUV into a palm tree in the 30 block of S. Ocean Boulevard just after 9 p.m. Monday. She uprooted the tree, then hit two parked cars. When police arrived at the scene, they said Ortiz was standing outside of her SUV wearing only a bathing suit and making threats to people at the scene.

Her vehicle had damage to the front and passenger side, police said, and the palm tree she had hit was knocked down, according to the police report.

While she was being questioned, police said they smelled alcohol and Ortiz had trouble answering questions. She refused a Breathalyzer and failed several field sobriety tests. When police handcuffed her, she tried to escape and run away from the police car, according to the report.

She is charged with driving while under the influence, reckless driving, resisting arrest and refusal to submit a DUI test after license suspension, and was released from the Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday.
