Woman arrested after accident at Idaho Falls DMV building

IDAHO FALLS – A woman was arrested after crashing into a DMV building in Idaho Falls.

The incident occurred Thursday evening and was reported at 11:25 p.m. According to Idaho Falls Police spokeswoman Jessica Clements, there was “significant damage to the north side of the DMV building.”

A driver and three adult passengers were traveling south on Yellowstone Avenue at E Street.

The white Mazda SUV jumped the curb, hit the lawn, struck two parked county vehicles and crashed into the north side of the building, Clements said.

The driver, Breeyona Vallo, 21, was arrested for aggravated driving while intoxicated. Clements said a breathalyzer test showed blood alcohol levels of 0.185 and 0.184, respectively; 0.08 percent is the legal blood alcohol limit in Idaho.

A 28-year-old passenger was also arrested on a warrant for violating probation in connection with drunken driving, Clements added.

Idaho Falls city spokesman Eric Grossarth said all four people were taken to a local hospital. The severity of their injuries is unknown.

On Friday morning, the windows of the DMV building were boarded up on the side marked “D7 Treatment Program, Bonneville County Drug Court.” One window that was still visible was broken. There were still shards of glass on the sidewalk. There were what appeared to be some car parts on the grass nearby.

A viewer sent pictures to EastIdahoNews.com showing the interior of the building with broken glass and debris scattered throughout.

Clements said the vehicle involved was towed and no other injuries were reported.
