— -- Dina Lohan, 50, was arrested yesterday in New York and charged with DWI, after a breath test revealed her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit, ABC News confirms.

New York State Police observed the mother of actress Lindsay Lohan at around 11 p.m. driving at "a speed of 77 mph in a 55 mph zone," according to a police press release.

Lohan was pulled over in her white BMW and blew a .20, more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent alcohol concentration.

After being taken to Farmingdale, on Long Island, for processing, Lohan told police she was injured during the arrest and was evaluated by medics.
