OUI Motorist Drives Car Through House With Her Own Baby In The Backseat

Tragically, there are numerous car accidents across the country that give rise to permanent and even fatal personal injuries. These accidents are caused by a number of factors, including driver distraction, driver aggression, and driving under the influence, just to name a few. No matter the cause, the consequences can be life changing. In addition to the physical burden imposed on car accident victims, many victims and their families are also forced to face severe financial and emotional struggles.

This marks the third operating under the influence (OUI) arrest for Heidi Everson. Sunday night, Everson was charged with felony OUI and several additional misdemeanors after she drove her vehicle through a Waterville, Maine home. The residents of the home, Nye and Diana Foster, were fortunately just barely out of harm’s way when the vehicle came crashing through their front wall. Nye had been sitting just eight feet away from the front door when the vehicle came barreling into his living room. Diana heard the noise, and came running before catching a glimpse of the shocking surprise.

Meanwhile, Everson was visibly under the influence of alcohol. In fact, she was so inebriated that she could barely keep her eyes open for the police mug shot. To make her utter recklessness even more reprehensible, the woman had been driving with her 17-month-old daughter in the back seat. The toddler was not properly buckled. By a stroke of luck, no one was physically injured in the incident.

For the time being, Everson is being held at the Kennebec County Jail on a $1,400 bond. According to WGME, Everson’s daughter is presently in custody of the state.
