PLEASE Don't Allow Your Children to Ride with Your A
 
An Irving woman faces intoxication manslaughter charges after a Saturday night car crash that killed two of her children and injured two others.

Irving police said Crystal Suniga, 30, lost control of her vehicle and slammed into two parked cars across from Gilbert Elementary School in the 1500 block of East Pioneer Drive at around 8 p.m.

Police spokesman James McLellan said two of Suniga's sons, ages 10 and 14, were dead at the scene. A 16-year-old boy and a girl whose age was not available were also injured in the wreck.

Suniga suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

McLellan said Suniga's blood alcohol level tested at 0.18, more than twice the legal limit.

She has been charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter, two counts of injury to a child and one count of intoxication assault. No bond was set.

It was not clear when Suniga would be transferred from the hospital to a jail.

So incredibly sad...

That story makes me sick. I hope she is in jail for a long time. No sympathy from me.

They seriously need to change this "intoxication manslaughter" charge to MURDER, and make it LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE.

She made the choice to drink, she made the choice to drive, she needs to spend the rest of her life LOCKED UP.

No sympathy from me, either.

I would feel the same way if it were AH.

There are a lot of people around the world
that have no idea how sick they are with
an addiction until consequences occur.

When something horrific happens, someone
killed by car, gun, drugs, abuse, etc. then
they are made aware of how serious their
addiction and actions really are.

Only the good die young? :33:

R.I.P. little ones.

I can't even imagine having to live with the guilt, knowing I'd killed of my children because of my own carelessness and selfishness. I would probably kill myself. Poor kids. May they rest in peace.
