The motorist, Maryann Christy, 54, of the 500 block of Spruce Court in Schaumburg, told police that she struck the tree somewhere in her hometown, but didn’t remember where, Tarchala said. Schaumburg is just north of Roselle.

Officers said the woman smelled of alcohol and failed field sobriety tests. She was cited for driving under the influence, police said. She is due in DuPage County court April 15.
