Authorities say a mother was driving drunk with two children in her car when she crashed into a building, seriously injuring herself and her young daughter.
The crash occurred around 1:15 a.m. Friday on the 800 block of Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark. Forty-three-year-old Sonya Harrison, of Newark, suffered facial fractures in the crash and her 8-year-old daughter's legs and pelvis were fractured. Both were hospitalized in serious condition. Harrison's 13-year-old son was treated at the hospital for a wrist injury and was later released.
Harrison was charged with child endangerment and drunk driving.
It was not known if she's retained an attorney who could comment on her behalf.
