Jun. 11–The driver who slammed into the back of a Lynx bus, sending 12 people to the hospital including herself, may have been on prescription drugs, a police report revealed today.

Mackenzie Clark Miller, 23, of Apopka told Orlando police she had taken hydrocodone (a pain reliever), Xanax (an anti-anxiety drug) and Soma (a muscle relaxer) three hours before the accident on Tuesday, the report shows.

A blood test will reveal whether drugs were in Miller’s system at the time of the crash. An officer wrote that her speech was slow and her eyes were glassy and bloodshot at the crash scene.

Miller’s Mazda Protege hit the bus on eastbound Colonial Drive in front of the Salvation Army at 4:50 p.m. She was cited on charges of following too closely and not having auto insurance.

No one was thought to have been seriously injured.
