RACINE, Wis. (AP) -- Criminal charges have been filed against a woman accused of driving drunk and hitting a Racine County sheriff's deputy.

A complaint says the deputy saw an SUV speeding toward him late Monday night.

The SUV took a sharp turn and collided with the deputy's squad car, causing him to hit his head on the window frame. The complaint says the SUV then sped away.

Fifty-year-old Denise Olson, of Mount Pleasant, is charged with driving while intoxicated and causing injury, among other counts.
