A California mother was drunk when she drove a vehicle carrying her wife and children off a cliff in a deadly crash last month.
Jennifer Hart's blood alcohol content was 0.102, according to California Patrol Capt. Bruce Carpenter. Drivers are considered impaired if they have a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher in California.
Her wife, Sarah Hart, and two of the couple's six children had "a significant amount" of an ingredient found in allergy medication Benadryl, which can result in drowsiness, in their systems, according to toxicology tests.
Neither Hart nor her passengers were wearing seatbelts, Carpenter said.
The same-sex couple and their six adopted children were all believed to be in the vehicle when it veered off course last month.
