The woman suspected of causing a deadly drunk driving crash in Warren was arraigned at the hospital today.

Investigators say 25-year-old Monica Lacey slammed into the back of a car driven by 65-year-old Haleem Good Sr. early Wednesday morning. 

Good was on his way to pick up his wife from dialysis when the accident happened. It caused an explosion and he died in the crash.

Surveillance video shows his car stopped at a light -- when her car plowed right into his. It happened at 8 Mile and Sunset.

Police say Lacey admitted she had been bar-hopping, and according to her driving records, she didn't have a valid drivers license.

She was charged with Homicide - Manslaughter with a Motor Vehicle, a 15-year felony, and Operating on a Suspended License. She was given a $100,000 cash or surety bond.
