The 2009 Taconic Parkway Crash
Diane Schuler and her five passengers were in a car crash with an SUV a little after 1:30 p.m. Diane and four of the children were killed on impact, and three others died in the SUV. Schuler drove at an upward speed of 60, and for some reason, she had driven two miles in the wrong direction on the busy Taconic State Parkway. The reason for this was that she had a BAC of 0.19, which was equivalent to ten drinks. She also had THC in her system, which is the active ingredient in marijuana. She had driven so crazy because she was intoxicated.
When she had left her family campground that morning she was completely sober as well as when she had stopped at Mcdonalds, and also stopping at the gas station for painkillers. At around 11:30 she had called her brother and told him about how the traffic was backed up. 10 minutes later she was seen on the roadside vomiting. Her brother had received another call from her cell, but it wasn't her, it was one of his nieces. The niece said that Diane was having troubles seeing and speaking. Schuler then got on the phone and her brother found out that what his niece said was true. She hung up on him. Later, her phone was found abandoned. Though the autopsy was clear on what happened, the timeline, as well as claims that she would never behave that way with kids in the car, seems to argue otherwise. There was only a 30-minute gap between her behaving normally and beginning acting weird. Nobody knows what had happened in that minivan in those 30 minutes. The only person who would know what happened in there would be the only survivor, Schuler's son Brian. But all she seemed to be able to remember is that her head hurt and she couldn't see. Was she able to get drunk during this short time while driving and somehow be intoxicated with THC?
~~~~~Have any suggestions on what might have happened?~~~~~
Alright, quick update. Someone gave this explanation as to what might have happened. Here is the explanation, and thank you very much for your help.
"I've seen the mystery before but I didn't dig into it till yesterday and I found out two things I previously didn't know. First being there's a medical problem which is rare but very likely it called auto brewery syndrome and it allows "alcohol" to be made in the body and when it happens it makes your blood alcohol level spike.
Second is THC is made inside the body and there were traces of that in her system so what if some how her body made too much."
This does make a lot of sense, and this is mostly like what could have happened.
The person that gave me this information was someone with the profile name as Atlantissquad
