But what began as a casual evening soon turned into an argument. Her sister left and Viviana stayed behind alone. She told officers later that she works overnight shifts and this was her only day off. Earlier that evening around 5:00 p.m. she had three cans of White Claw hard seltzer. Thinking she was fine to drive. Hours later on her way home, fatigue and alcohol combined, she started dozing off behind the wheel, drifting in and out of consciousness until everything went wrong in just seconds. Her 2009 Silver Dodge Journey smashed into a utility pole. The pole split in half, wires dangled overhead, and the SUV flipped multiple times before landing upright in the Middletown High School North parking lot. Shaken and trembling, Viviana climbed out of the wreck. Her glasses were broken, her car destroyed, and witnesses immediately called 911. When tested later, her blood alcohol content, BAC, measured 0.11%, nearly 40% higher than New Jersey's legal limit of 0.08. Within minutes, officers arrived at the crash site. And that's where the body cam footage begins. >> That vehicle is going to be out of the roadway. Everybody's out of the vehicle. >> Yeah. No, it's just me. >> Driver's okay.
