AIKEN, S.C. (AP) -- Authorities say a woman has been charged with driving under the influence after she rear-ended another SUV in the car pool line of an Aiken elementary school.

Aiken Public Safety Sgt. Jake Mahoney told The Aiken Standard that 46-year-old Angela Lott's blood-alcohol level was about twice the legal limit after the wreck Friday afternoon.

Investigators say Lott's 2006 Ford SUV ran into the back of a 2011 Lexus SUV as the vehicles slowly inched up to Millbrook Elementary School.

Police say they arranged for someone else to pick up Lott's child from school.

A phone listing for Lott could not be found, and it wasn't clear if she had an attorney.
