BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A woman accused of driving drunk when she crashed into a Bakersfield house two years ago, injuring multiple occupants, had new court dates set Wednesday.

Madison Williams, 28, has a readiness hearing scheduled Nov. 22 and a trial date Dec. 9.

The crash happened around 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 14, 2022, when Williams’ Mercedes-Benz C300 plowed into a home at Old River Road and Taft Highway, according to California Highway Patrol.

The house caught fire and its occupants managed to escape. Several people — including a toddler — were injured.

Officers said a preliminary alcohol screening performed on Williams returned blood-alcohol content readings of 0.16 and 0.15%, above the legal limit of 0.08%.

Williams also has a misdemeanor drunken driving case stemming from an arrest that occurred earlier in 2022. A hearing in that case is scheduled next month.
