A Walhalla woman whose 2004 Dodge Intrepid car crashed into a county-owned 2014 Chevy Tahoe SUV near Seneca Sunday night is awaiting a bond hearing on a DUI charge. 

32 year old  Carrie Leighanne Underwood was booked into the Oconee County Detention Center when she was released from the hospital. 

Troopers say she and the driver of the SUV were both hurt when Underwood's car swerved out of control on Sheep Farm Road behind traffic that had slowed to allow the county-owned car to make a U-turn.
