Woman suspected of DUI crashes in to Lake Bowl in Folsom

FOLSOM, CA - A woman suspected of driving under the influence Tuesday morning crashed into a
Folsom bowling alley around 12:30 a.m.

Sgt. Jason Browning of the Folsom Police Dept. said 41-year-old Tera Nicholson of Folsom had
been drinking inside the Lake Bowl alley at 511 East Bidwell St. prior to leaving, getting
in her car and crashing into the alley's patio. The patio area is commonly used by
patrons for smoking.

Five people were taken to the hospital with injuries, with the most serious being a
broken arm, said Browning.

Nicholson was arrested and charged with DUI and causing great bodily harm, Browning said.

I don't understand why people don't take advantage of the rides available. These things shouldn't be happening.
Isn't this the skinandwaxdiva lady?

Yes it's unfortunate that people don't take advantage enough of our designated driver service that we pay for. Our security guard was actually calling for a taxi to drive her home, when she went out the back door and decided to drive. We are very glad that nobody was seriously injured.

Yep - she sure got waxed. It is absolutely amazing how many people make such poor decisions. I'll chock this one up as another teaching moment for my young children.

Comment from the News10 article says she lost her parents and son last week (unconfirmed). So, seems like she had a reason to get hammered but that still doesn't excuse her poor decision to drive afterwards.

The photos almost look like she drove completely through the patio. I wonder if she was angry or distraught when she left on top of being intoxicated.

Maybe she barely missed bowling a 300 game?

Well, at least you didn't go for the obvious spare joke.

If that unconfirmed comment is true, it's just sad all the way around.

one explination might be when your drunk R might look like D....knew a guy one time (kinda a country guy) that tore up a rental car transmission...his background it seems had been with stick shifts on the farm....he said he threw the car into reverse at 60 mph because he thought R meant race

Dan, Glad you weren't hurt, and no one hurt too seriously.

[supermom]

Why is the news saying Folsom bowl is being investigated for possibly over serving this person?
If they offer free ride and tuck, can that stick?

[mary56]

Good thing this was not on a weekend night or the injuries would have been catastrophic!!!!! This lady had been drinking all day long from a very good resource and yet they still served her!!!!
So she is obviously an Esthetician in the community, so I am going to pull up her license and put in on here, if she has one!!!!

Where is the high priced Folsom Police who pull you over for everything else? Lets see, we have a drug/intoxicated driver who kills two and now this and it does come in three's.

Lets hope you are not the next victim from this obviously not patrolled community....

Shame on you FPD and lets not blame it on budget cuts......
