Pullos received a DUI charge last month for her alleged involvement in a major car crash.
The police report also indicated that Pullos was also allegedly involved in a hit-and-run incident before the crash. As authorities reported to the scene, Pullos was unable to get out of her car. Because of that, the Pasadena Fire Department (PFD) had to use the jaws of life to “extract” her.
The other driver involved sustained major injuries from the collision and was taken to a hospital.
“Pasadena Fire units responded to a traffic collision requiring rescue at the 134 Freeway/Orange Grove exit early this morning,” the PFD said in a statement shared on theirofficial Facebook page. “Arriving units found two vehicles involved, with one person trapped, after a reported head-on collision. Fire personnel extricated one person from a vehicle and provided patient care and hospital transport for the occupants of both vehicles.”
