"Mother of Three" drunk three times over the limit..... and of course no mention of a husband or a job
A northwest suburban woman admitted to police that she consumed several shots of liquor at a holiday party before crashing her car last month, killing an elderly woman and seriously injuring the woman's husband, authorities said.
Amber Honaker, 24, of Palatine, has been charged with aggravated DUI involving death and great bodily harm in the crash in South Barrington.
Honaker appeared Thursday in Cook County court, where her bond was set at $750,000.
The crash occurred Dec. 4 on Mundhank Road near Illinois Highway 72, but Honaker was not charged until this week because of injuries she sustained, McGee said. Honaker suffered a broken ankle and clavicle in the crash and appeared in Rolling Meadows branch court in a wheelchair.
Assistant State's Attorney Maureen McGee said Theresa and Joseph Miceli, of South Barrington, were heading northbound on Mundhank when Honaker's southbound car crossed the center line and struck their car head-on shortly after 8 p.m. Theresa Miceli died five days later from injuries she sustained; her husband remains hospitalized.
McGee said Honaker's blood-alcohol level registered at .24 after the crash, three times the legal limit.
