Authorities say a 68-year-old woman was under the influence when she struck a mother and her two young sons as they were leaving a preschool in Freehold Township Friday afternoon.

Police identified the driver as Angela F. Arrigo, of Manalapan. According to the Freehold Township Police Department, she has been charged with:

• Endangering the welfare of a child
• Assault by auto

The crash happened shortly after 3 p.m. at Bloom Academy on Pond Road — during active pickup hours.

Investigators determined Arrigo was intoxicated at the time of the collision and issued her a summons for driving while intoxicated (DWI).

The mother and both children were injured. Authorities have not released details about the severity of those injuries.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Freehold Township Police Department.
