Teen also accused of hitting police cruiser in separate incident

A 19 year old woman wanted by Hamilton police after allegedly injuring two officers at a New Year's Eve RIDE checkpoint has surrendered to police.

Hannah Pietrantuono is accused of blowing through the checkpoint in an SUV leaving the two officers unconscious and injured.

Earlier that day, the same vehicle hit a cruiser after police approached the driver who appeared to be passed out at the wheel.

The teen is facing a long list of charges including impaired driving, flight from police and failure to stop after an accident.
