A South Jersey mom is facing several charges after she allegedly drove drunk with her son in a truck with her and then tried to elude police following a hit-and-run accident.

Police in Vineland say the chase unfolded late Friday afternoon after a two-car crash; officers say 43-year-old Tina Orange of Newfield drove away from the accident, but they soon located the vehicle and tried to stop it. A pursuit then continued as Orange allegedly drove recklessly for several blocks before finally stopping. Neither Orange nor her 10-year-old son were injured but the son was described as being very frightened.

Orange was charged with eluding, child endangerment and several motor vehicle citations.
