Isn't she the daughter of Stanley Gold, Roy Disney's ally in attempting to get rid of Eisner?

An attractive woman who had a little too much to drink.

She nearly killed her entire family drunk driving...flipping on the 126.

More white glove justice for the rich.

Off topic, but I still can't believe that show had a character named "Boner".

I'm sure you are used to dealing with that type of people, being that you live in "Beautiful Downtown Burbank."

Give her a break! It wasn't even her fault. The SUV did it ...

Marshall was behind the wheel when the family sport utility vehicle veered off Highway 118 in Moorpark and rolled down an embankment

Oh yes, Dr. Bruce Hentszel killing someone entering the 134 freeway years back, Fred Rogan crashing while on cocaine.....and this morning...

KNBC Staffers Fired Over Affair
The L.A. Observed blog reported that Ron Fineman, in his “On the Record” Web site, is following up on his scoop from last week that KNBC reporter Kyung Lah and "Today in L.A." producer Jeff Soto got fired for having an affair – and 11 p.m. news producer Jim Bunner was axed for not telling on them. Fineman picks up on the shocked reactions from the Channel 4 newsroom and links KNBC's sensitivity on the issue to it being sued by ex-weatherman Christopher Nance, who was fired ostensibly because of his relationship with an intern. Nance alleges he was fired for being black and for practicing his religion.

I can only imagine there was a lot of tears before that photo was taken, especially since her kids were injured in the accident.

She's got airbag burn and shoulder belt burn, too. That *had* to hurt like hell in the morning.

The obvious questions:

What condition was her husband in to let her drive?

How does someone get probation after two felony DWIs with three people injured?

Well, pleaded guilty to a felony. Have to take that into consideration, too. There are ramifications to that. Also, she spared the taxpayers a legal process. I'm just glad none of the kids were seriously hurt.

Not sure about Tracey's parentage, but this is kind of an interesting coincidence:

Perhaps best known as Richard "Boner" Stabone on Growing Pains, in reality, Joshua Andrew Koenig is the son of Star Trek's Walter Koenig.
