KUNA - Authorities say a 14-year-old girl riding her bicycle was hospitalized Wednesday after she was hit by a drunk driver.

Officials say at 10:03 a.m., deputies were called to a crash on Linder Road just north of Deer Flat in Kuna. A witness reported that the driver of a GMC Yukon had hit a girl who had been riding her bicycle on Linder.

Initial evidence gathered, officials say, shows the teen was riding on the shoulder of the road and obeying traffic laws. The driver of the Yukon, later identified as William Charles Salter, 48, of Kuna, was also northbound when he veered several feet off the road and hit the cyclist, police say.

The 14-year-old suffered cuts, scrapes and bruises but did not appear to have any life-threatening injuries. Kuna paramedics responded and transported the teen to Saint Alphonsus where she is being treated for her injuries.

After failing standard field sobriety tests, Salter was taken into custody. A breath test showed Salter to have a blood alcohol content of .11, above the legal limit of .08.

Salter was booked into the Ada County Jail and charged with aggravated driving under the influence, which is a felony. He is expected to be arraigned on the charge Thursday afternoon in district court.
