ROYAL PALM BEACH - A Palm Beach County woman told police she crashed her car into her boyfriend's truck to prevent him from driving drunk.

The sheriff's office reports that 33-year-old Lorena Alvarez was charged Thursday for the April 13 crash. That night, authorities say Alvarez put her two children, ages 7 and 1, into her car and went looking for her boyfriend. She eventually found him sitting in his truck in a Winn-Dixie parking lot. That's when authorities say Alvarez pulled up to the truck and rammed it, her children still in the car with her.

Alvarez was charged with aggravated battery and two counts of child abuse. She was being held without bail.
