An incoherent New Jersey mom was allegedly caught on police bodycam video slurring her words after she drunkenly plowed into a truck with her three young daughters — and open bottles of wine — in her SUV.
Megan Fackler, who admitted to working for the Garden State’s DOT, was arrested over the alleged drunken ordeal in Ewing Township, N.J., last October, newly released footage obtained by Transparency Bodycam shows.
The mother had allegedly drifted into incoming traffic and crashed her 2020 Chevrolet Traverse into the truck after taking her kids — aged 8, 7, and 4 years — to dinner on Oct. 5, according to a police report.
The body cam video captured Fackler repeatedly slurring and rambling away as cops tried to deal with the ordeal.

0.371% is pass-out drunk. I hope the children are unharmed.
If ex hubby is reliable give him custody of the kids
Kids are OK
Yes.
In some government circles, wouldn’t this example of strong empowerment be grounds for a promotion?
Trashed and slutty. Video is a hoot. Hope she sobers up. Brother came and got the kids, so there is family to perform an intervention.
I had a drunk Mexican with a BAL of 0.24 plow into the back of my vehicle decades ago. Of course, he had no insurance but I did. His family tried to sue me, but the judge dismissed the complaint with prejudice. Luckily, I had witnesses come forward and state I was driving straight in the right lane of the highway and the drunk driver just slammed into the back of my vehicle. It was very sad, because he had a wife and two kids that were left destitute.
wasnt 01.00 the prior limit? and is 00.85 the current?
I son’t even know how she was talking - sort of - with that alcohol level!
Sounds like the Neilia Biden plan.
There was one here in Omaha a few months back, who was speeding like 100 mph in downtown, crashed, killing her own 3 children and a male adult passenger. It was very sad. I believe she is Native American.
In Alabama, anyone with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more is “driving under the influence.” DUI
lol... well I guess I was way off. been a while since I drank and drove enough to worry about it!
Yeah. It’s pretty much the same level everywhere....and a lot of people drop a zero when thinking about it.
Maybe she drinks a lot every day. I’ve known a couple of people who can act and drive as if they are completely sober when they are way over limit. They exist. They drink frequently.
The legal limit is statutory amount that, if the jury or judge finds that the defendant has a BAC at or above this amount, he is intoxication. However, individuals can be convicted with a DWI with even lower BAC, or in the case of drugs, no BAC. BAC is Blood/Breath Alcohol Concentration.
In Texas, we had an individual with a BAC of .40. Anyone with a BAC of over in the .2 range or higher is an extremely hard drinker and has built up a tolerance to alcohol.
The kid who just had one too many is actually usually lower than .08, the legislature had to pick a number and with the alcohol lobbyist on one side and MADD on the other, this was generally the compromise.
Knew of a defendant in South Texas years ago that had a BAC of .40. People like that and this lady are hard drinkers that have developed a tolerance for alcohol.
10 bucks says she voted for slurred salad Mama Harris.
understood... and I knew there was a 1 and an 8! just had the “ . “ in the wrong spot!! ;P
