RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says a Raleigh woman was driving drunk when tried to make an illegal turn Saturday, prompting a wreck that caused injuries to four people.

Mary Catherine Marett, 27, of 1020-A5 Avent Hill, was arrested on four felony counts of serious injury by vehicle and one count each of driving while impaired, driving with a revoked license and unsafe movement following the wreck on Tryon Road near Trailwood Drive in Raleigh around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.
