NorCal Mom Busted Driving Drunk With Twins In Car
SACRAMENTO (CBS) ―
A mother was arrested for driving with a blood-alcohol level at more than four times the legal limit while her kids were in the back seat, according to authorities.
Police said it's amazing that Brenda Super, 49, was even able to drive at all. Her blood-alcohol content was allegedly measured at .34, more than eight times the legal limit of .08. At that level, authorities say, most people wouldn't be able to walk.
Super was allegedly found slumped over the steering wheel of her car, which was parked on a curb. Her twin daughters were sitting in the back seats, and an open bottle of vodka was in the front seat, according to police.
Super was arrested for another DUI in June. That case is still pending.
"She could have killed herself, she could have killed her kids," said Judy Utter from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. "She could have killed a complete stranger."
M.A.D.D. has decided to track Super's case to ensure that she doesn't receive a slap on the wrist, and also in hopes of intervening with the mother before she hurts herself or her children.
