According to Myrtle Beach Police Capt. David Knipes, 17-year-old Laodicea Phillips is charged with two counts of driving under the influence resulting in great bodily injury, and one count of disregarding a traffic signal.
Investigators say Phillips was driving north on Broadway around 2 a.m. Sunday when she ran the red light at the intersection with Highway 501, and hit a motorcycle on the side, throwing the rider off.
