Police say a drunk driver killed a 60-year-old Mishawaka woman and seriously injured her husband.

The crash happened just after 7:00 Saturday morning on Lincolnway East near Oakside in Mishawaka.

Police say the intoxicated man's Cobalt drifted across the center line and smashed into a 1964 Corvair.

The impact crumpled one side of the classic car and killed passenger Carol Ragsdale.

"I just heard a loud pop and glass hit my windshield, and part of the car came flying across in front of the road. Basically, it just happened right in front of me," explained Roger Spier.

Derek Dygulski of South Bend was arrested and booked into the Saint Joseph County Jail Saturday afternoon.

He faces one charge of operating while intoxicated causing death, and one charge of operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury.
