LEBANON, Maine (AP) Maine State Police say a woman is accused of striking a parked police cruiser while texting and driving under the influence.

Police say 22-year-old Molly Foisy, of Springvale, allegedly struck the cruiser that was behind a tow truck in the breakdown lane of Route 202 in Lebanon Saturday.

Police say no one was injured.

Officials say a trooper determined Foisy’s blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit.
