SAN ANTONIO<\/strong> \u2013 A San Antonio woman is asking for help from the community after she survived a suspected drunk driving crash. <\/p>\n

The crash happened Saturday on the Interstate 10 access road near South New Braunfels Avenue. San Antonio police arrested Marco Martinez for causing the crash. He was charged with driving while intoxicated. <\/p>\n

The case\u2019s crash report revealed that Martinez hit three other cars, including Chae Colony. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just heard screeching noises. … I just closed my eyes and held on,\u201d Colony, a San Antonio mom and veteran, said. <\/p>\n

The noise \u201cwas a truck fishtailing behind me, trying to slam on their brakes,\u201d Colony said.<\/p>\n

Colony showed KSAT photos of her car after the crash, which was totaled. Now, she said her future is in jeopardy without having a vehicle. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting the bad end of the stick,\u201d she said. \u201cI have no resolution whatsoever, and it\u2019s literally going to affect the next month of my livelihood with my children.\u201d <\/p>\n

Colony said she was supposed to start a new job this past Monday that requires a vehicle. After the crash, her start date was pushed back a week, but now she\u2019s left looking for a rental car on her own.<\/p>\n

As of Wednesday, she said insurance only offered a reimbursement for a rental car. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know where to turn now,\u201d Colony said. \u201cIt all happened just because I was going home and was hit by a drunk driver.\u201d <\/p>\n

Colony is fundraising online to get a rental car. She\u2019s sharing her story as a warning, and she\u2019s hoping it stops someone in the city from drinking and driving. <\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody\u2019s wrong choices is really affecting somebody\u2019s lifelong stability in life,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is known as Blackout Wednesday. <\/p>\n

According to Department of Public Safety statistics, there were just over 1,700 crashes across Texas on Blackout Wednesday last year. Twenty of those crashes involved driving while intoxicated, and two were fatal.<\/p>\n
