A TriMet bus driver was arrested Friday night in Hillsboro and accused of DUII and reckless driving.

Vanessa Krinker, 46, was driving a TriMet bus east on Southwest Baseline Road in Cornelius when callers reported the bus was swerving, according to a news release from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

No one else was on the bus, and the bus was not in service, according to the release.

Krinker’s swerving forced another driver out of their lane while she drove toward Hillsboro, according to the release.

TriMet contacted Krinker, who is from Northwest Portland, and had her stop the bus, according to the release. Police arrested Krinker at Southeast Maple Street and 10th Avenue in Hillsboro.

TriMet is conducting an internal investigation, Roberta Altstadt, a TriMet spokesperson said via email. She said Krinker could be fired if the allegations are true.

Krinker was accused of DUII, but police said alcohol was not a factor. It’s unclear what she was allegedly under the influence of. According to the release, police are continuing to investigate while toxicology tests are completed.

Police took Krinker to Washington County Jail and she was released on $2,500 bail.
