However officials did not find any drugs on her or in the car. Workman stated that the results of drug tests have not come back.

Authorities are still trying to contact the 911 callers who originally reported a black SUV driving the wrong way on the freeway. The callers are potential witnesses in the incident and more charges may be filed depending on any statements obtained.
