Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has formally charged a 24-year-old woman accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that seriously injured a six-year-old girl.

One of the juvenile passengers, a six-year-old girl, was taken to a local hospital to be treated for serious bodily injury.
Lucero remains in custody; bond is set at $25,000. She is scheduled to appear in Denver County Courtroom 2100 on April 7, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. to be formally advised of the charges against her.
