A Quincy woman is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Boston Municipal Court on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence and a marked lane violation, after she allegedly drove into a state police cruiser early Sunday, seriously injuring a trooper.

The trooper, whose name was not released, was clearing a crash on northbound Interstate 93 in Boston near exit 23 when Candace Player, 27, allegedly rear-ended his car with her 2005 Mazda Tribute, shortly after 3 a.m., police said.

The trooper, whose name was not released, was taken to New England Medical Center with various injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.
