Summary
A car slammed into a family of four on a Lincoln sidewalk Saturday, trapping a 24-year-old woman under the vehicle and sending her to the hospital by air ambulance. The kids, ages 5 and 3 months, and the other adult were injured but not critically. The 57-year-old driver, Carl Hartley, allegedly veered off the road at an intersection — initially suspected of being drunk, but tests came back clean. Police then suspected drugs, and after Hartley refused a drug evaluation, they obtained a warrant for his blood. Officers found suspected methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia in his car. He’s now charged with aggravated DUI and drug trafficking, jailed, and the investigation continues as lab results are pending — with more charges possible.
