McKenzie Moser, 19, was sentenced Monday to three years in prison for a June 13 drunk driving crash that seriously injured three teenage girls in Horace, North Dakota. Judge Connie Cleveland noted Moser drove in the wrong lane at 45 mph with a blood alcohol level of 0.194%, more than double the legal limit, calling it “a collision, not an accident.” The crash fractured vertebrae in two 16-year-olds, Addison Marker from Jamestown and cousin Megan Wieland from West Fargo, with Marker also suffering broken ankle bones. Marker’s 14-year-old sister Claire sustained a lacerated spleen. All three were hospitalized for multiple days. Moser entered an Alford plea while her attorney unsuccessfully argued she had been drugged before the incident. “Everyone has lost,” Cleveland said when delivering the sentence.
