New details have been released in the deadly Berea crash following the arrest of 48-year-old Elizabeth Fox.

Fox was arrested on June 5 in connection to the crash and charged with DUI and vehicular homicide, according to officials.

An arrest warrant detailed the crash, reading "Fox was found in the back seat of a red Ford Ranger" and was "freed from the vehicle by the Berea Fire Department via the Jaws of Life."

The warrant noted that "an EMT advised officers they could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from her.

According to the warrant, Fox was taken to UK Hospital, where other officers and health care workers reported smelling the odor of alcohol.

Witnesses at the scene of the crash, according to the warrant, reportedly told officers that Fox ran "a red light at the intersection" and was traveling "at least 90 miles per hour."

The warrant stated that Fox consented to a blood draw, and the results revealed her "BAC to be 0.172." UK Hospital, according to the warrant, requested a second one due to the procedure in which it had been taken.

According to the warrant, the second result was taken one hour and ten minutes later and showed her "BAC to be 0.133." The samples were sent to the Kentucky State Police Crime Lab, according to the warrant.

Fox was arraigned on June 9, and her bond is $100,000. She remains in custody at the Madison County Detention Center.
