A 35-year-old woman from East Hartford was involved in a crash on Interstate 84 with a 2-year-old child in the car, admitting to state police that she had used crack cocaine before driving. The incident occurred on Monday morning on the exit 58 off-ramp in East Hartford. State troopers found the woman at fault for hitting the back of another vehicle. They noticed slurred speech and delayed body movements, leading to failed field sobriety tests. The woman was charged with various offenses including operating a motor vehicle under the influence, possession of controlled substances, and risk of injury to a minor. The Department of Children and Families was notified, and a family member took custody of the child. No injuries were reported in the crash. The woman was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on March 17. The disturbing incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs.
