A young girl fearing for her life made a frantic cellphone call to cops to report her mom was swerving wildly through traffic while driving drunk.


Quote from the article:

The boozed-up woman's 12-year-old daughter used a cellphone to tell the dispatcher that her mom was "acting strange, speaking strange and swerving in and out of traffic" as they barreled along Interstate 84 near Brewster in Putnam County around 6 p.m. Sunday, officials said. "The girl reported [her mom] was driving erratically" and then hurriedly said she had to hang up, said State Police Capt. Robert Nuzzo. "The 911 operator lost connection and tried calling the number back several times. At one point, [the phone was] picked up, and no one was talking. There was just an argument going on in vehicle." The mom, Jamie Hicks, 48, of Islip, later registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.18 -- more than twice the legal limit of 0.08, police said. The bust occurred just a day before the one-year anniversary of the horrific Taconic Parkway wrong-way crash in which another drunk-driving mom killed herself, four children and three others.
