Police charged a woman with driving drunk after her car, in which a small child was a passenger, crashed into two other vehicles on Monday night.
According to the Suffolk County Police Department, 34-year-old Jeannie Muller was driving a 2014 Jeep on Route 25 shortly before 10 p.m. when she reached the Boyle Road intersection and hit two other cars.
A 4-year-old girl was in Muller’s car at the time of the crash.
Police investigated at the scene and allege that Muller, a Nesconset resident, was under the influence of alcohol. She was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated with a passenger 15 years or younger, under Leandra’s Law. She was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Muller and the little girl were treated for injuries at Stony Brook University Hospital, as was the driver of one of the two other vehicles involved in the crash.
The child was released to a family member, police said.
Police impounded the Jeep for evidence.
Attorney information for Muller was not immediately available. She was scheduled to be arraigned at a later date.
