ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department says the woman, who drove the wrong-way on I-25 crashing into two cars , had a blood alcohol level of .20.  Officials say that's more than twice the presumed level of intoxication.
   
Leela Perez admitted to drinking two drinks after she was caught driving south in the northbound lanes of I-25 near Santa Fe last week.
    
She crashed into two cars, one carrying a pregnant woman who was forced to have an emergency C-section.
    
Her baby is still in intensive care.

Perez, who is charged with great bodily harm by vehicle, would not tell deputies where she had been drinking.
