Alleged drunk Boston woman with child in car is charged with DUI after fatal crash
A 38-year-old Boston woman who was allegedly drunk behind the wheel with a child in her car caused a crash that killed a motorcyclist in New Hampshire Saturday afternoon, according to police.
Jennifer McCoy was later charged with driving under the influence following the fatal crash in North Hampton, New Hampshire State Police said on Sunday.
The unidentified motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. McCoy and her juvenile passenger did not sustain any injuries in the wreck, police said.
State Police troopers, North Hampton police officers and medical personnel from the North Hampton Fire Department responded to the crash at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Woodland Road at around 3:45 p.m.
Upon arrival, police determined that a Black BMW driven by McCoy caused a collision with a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
At the request of the North Hampton Police Department, the Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and assumed the lead of the investigation. The C.A.R. Unit was assisted on scene by New Hampshire State Police Troop A, and the North Hampton Police and Fire Departments.
McCoy is scheduled to be arraigned in Rockingham County Superior Court.
All aspects of the collision remain under investigation, and police are urging any witnesses to contact Trooper Christopher Pieniazek at Christopher.J.Pieniazek@dos.nh.gov or by voicemail at 603-931-9384.
