MANCHESTER, NH — A New Hampshire mother is accused of driving under the influence while her two 11-month-old infants were in the vehicle, according to police.
On Monday at 4:00 p.m. Manchester police responded to a two-car accident on Boynton Street, Manchester police said. Responding officers found a Hyundai Elantra with significant front-end damage on the passenger side and a Honda Pilot with minor damage.
EMTs on the scene reported to police that the Hyundai Elantra was being driven by 37-year-old Shannon Lurvery and her twin 11-month-old infants were not properly secured in the car seats.
Manchester police say Lurvery appeared agitated and was uncooperative with officers.
Officers determined Lurvery was intoxicated. A police department spokesperson said Lurvery struggled with officers who arrested her.
Lurvey is facing charges of aggravated DUI with a passenger under 16, endangering the welfare of a child, and resisting arrest.
The infants were transported to a local hospital for observation before being released to a relative.
The driver of the Pilot was not hurt in the crash.
