A Nevada City woman not only suffered major injuries from a solo vehicle crash over the past weekend but has also been arrested for drunk driving. CHP Officer James Cornwall says 35-year-old Sandy Leonard was driving on Willow Valley Road Saturday evening…

Horizontal gaze nystagmus refers to an involuntary jerking of the eyes, as the eyes gaze toward the side. In addition to being involuntary, the person experiencing it is unaware of its occurrence.
