From yesterday's news:

I'm simply speechless...

From today's paper:

"According to the police account, Green told investigators that she probably fell asleep while driving her 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer. She was headed south toward Newport News, she told them, a nearly seven-hour journey from New Jersey, where she and her son had been visiting the boy's father. She hadn't slept in about three days, state police say she told them."

Since extreme sleep deprivation has been shown to affect judgment in ways similar to alcohol consumption, she was effectively driving impaired.

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse :(
