Kids were unrestrained riding in her Honda accord. Driver thought she could beat an oncoming truck at a light.

2 girls are seriously injured: 11 year old with brain injury and the 6 year old is paralyzed and will never walk again. These are not her kids.

The woman driver was walking around when police arrived and kids were scattered around the wreck on the ground screaming. Drunk drivers never seem to get hurt in these things; I assume because they go limp during the wreck.

quote:

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 46-year-old Tara Christine McConnell, who was the driver in a serious crash involving six kids who were unrestrained in McConnell's 1993 Honda Accord. McConnell will face a judge on Tuesday, June 27; the exact time is not yet known.

Four of the children are currently recovering from their injuries at home. Two of the children, 11-year-old Arwen Bargeron and 6-year-old Violet Bargeron, are still in critical condition at the hospital. Violet Bargeron is reportedly paralyzed. A post by their father says Arwen is making small steps, breathing on her own now. Violet has had spinal fusion surgery with no complications reported.

Tara Christine McConnell, 46, is charged with DUI, failure to yield, reckless driving, six counts of failure to restrain children, DUI less safe, six counts of DUI child endangerment, and six counts of serious injury by vehicle. According to Major Steve Morris with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, McConnell's blood alcohol level was .451. The legal limit in Georgia is .08.

Only one child was hers, the rest were her kid's friends I believe.

Doubt it. Any parent dumb enough to let their child under the custody of someone capable of something like this probably won't care too much about the results.

A speech therapist is working to determine when Violet can start eating whole food again.

"I'm crossing my fingers!!! She is also going crazy in this bed. I can't wait until she can get some fresh air! Her fever is up this morning, but she has the best doctors! She's going to get through this. Her nails and toenails are hot pink now, and she insists on having her collection of Ty Beanie Boos in bed with her."


This is the paralyzed 6 year old who had a spinal fusion surgery. Too bad the cops didn't see the drunk driver going for her gun at the accident scene. Frick

Ge'ez that's horrible. Under normal circumstances i'd have to make fun of a kid named Arwen or at least her parents. But I just hope she makes a full recovery and that woman spends the rest of her miserable life in jail.

Going all the way to the last pic in the news article it looks like this happened during the day?

I wonder how someone gets that drunk that early.
