A traffic accident Wednesday afternoon led to the arrest of Brown County Elections Administrator 49-year-old Suzanne “Suzy” Renee Young for driving while intoxicated.

The accident occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. near the Vine Street Underpass.  Young’s Chevy Tahoe was traveling northbound when it crossed into the southbound lane of traffic and struck the sidewalk portion of the underpass.

Although Young appeared to be uninjured, her vehicle sustained heavy damage, as the railing ripped off the hood and impaled the engine compartment of the vehicle.

As of Thursday morning, Young was being held in the Brown County Jail and no bond amount had been set.

Brownwood Police Department, Brownwood Fire Department and EMS responded to the scene of the accident.
