Police said Green's Ford Expedition slammed into the rear of a Mitsubishi Eclipse, causing that car to hit the rear of a Hyundai Sante Fe. There were no injuries as a result of the crash, police said. 

Green had prescription bottles for Xanax, Tramadol and Oxycodone in her possession, according to police. All were prescribed to her, but the bottles had fewer pills than they should have based on the labels, police said.
