An Aloha woman ended up in jail over the weekend after authorities said she drove drunk with her kids in the car.

Washington County deputies arrested Claudia Corona, 25, early Sunday morning on Highway 26 near Cornell Road.

A 911 caller reported at about 4:10 a.m. that Corona was swerving from lane to lane, speeding up, slowing down and even stopping in the middle of the freeway.

A Hillsboro police officer tracked Corona down a few miles later.

Investigators said Corona was driving home to the Aloha area from Cornelius.

Deputies told Fox 12 that she ran over several cones while trying to find the 185th exit.

They said Corona told deputies that she was lost and still in Cornelius.

During the investigation deputies found Corona's four kids in the car, ages one to nine years old.

Deputies said she failed a field sobriety test and later blew a BAC of .15, nearly twice the legal limit.

They booked Corona into the Washington County jail on DUII and four counts of reckless endangering.
