The Hartford County crash happened on Saturday, April 13 in the town of Southington, according to Connecticut State Police.
Just before 7:30 p.m. that day, 36-year-old Elizabeth Silva was reportedly driving drunk, heading west on I-84 near exit 28 when police said she rear-ended another vehicle, which then spun and crashed into a third car.
The three people in the first car Silva hit — a 20-year-old woman, a 64-year-old man, and a 58-year-old woman — were said to have minor injuries from the crash.
Silva, who is from the Middlesex County town of Weston, Massachusetts, had not been injured in the crash; however, her 1-year-old daughter, who was in the backseat, was taken to a local children’s hospital for treatment of her minor injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
Silva was placed under arrest and charged with the following:
- Operating under the influence with a child;
- Reckless endangerment; and
- Risk of injury to a child.
She was released on a $5,000 bond and is slated to appear at GA 15 New Britain Superior Court on Friday, May 3.
