O’Malley, who was on her way home from visiting family, was hit so hard the car’s engine was on the sidewalk, a crash report said. She died 40 days later in the hospital.
After the crash, police did a blood alcohol content test. According to a report, Kohrs blood alcohol level was .27 — over three times the legal limit.
