NY Driver Who Killed 8 On Taconic State Parkway Was Drunk And High
Last week we reported on the mysterious and tragic wrong-way accident that killed eight people, including four young children on the Taconic State Parkway in New York. At the time, authorities were unsure of why the 36-year-old New York mother, Diane Schuler, had become so disoriented and confused that she drove the wrong way down the interstate.After New York officials ruled out a stoke or other medical problem during an autopsy of the NY mom, blood tests revealed that the story was not what it seemed: Diane Schuler was drunk and high at the time of the NYC minivan accident - with a blood alcohol level of 0.19 (more than twice the legal limit) and 6 more grams of alcohol in her stomach that had yet to enter her blood stream. Authorities also revealed that a broken vodka bottle was found at the scene of the horrific head-on car accident.
Diane Schuler's minivan was carrying two of her own children and three of her sister's children. All but Shuler's son were killed in the Taconic State Parkway wrong way accident. Two men in another car were killed and three people in a third car were injured.
