Mom allegedly involved in drunken crash in New Jersey with her three kids in car

A confused mother from New Jersey was reportedly captured on police bodycam footage speaking unclearly after she drunkenly crashed her SUV into a truck with her three young daughters onboard, along with open bottles of wine.

Megan Fackler, who admitted to working for the Garden State’s DOT, was arrested over the alleged drunken ordeal in Ewing Township, N.J., last October, newly released footage obtained by Transparency Bodycam shows.

The mother had allegedly drifted into incoming traffic and crashed her 2020 Chevrolet Traverse into the truck after taking her kids — aged 8, 7, and 4 years — to dinner on Oct. 5, according to a police report.

The body cam video captured Fackler repeatedly slurring and rambling away as cops tried to deal with the ordeal.

Fackler denied that she’d had any alcohol in the lead up to the collision.

“Sorry, I’m a little out of sorts right now,” she rambled at the beginning of the hour-long clip.

“Can you not get mad at me? I’m sorry about this,” she later sobbed, adding: “Please don’t arrest me.”

When an officer eventually asked her to get out of her car, Fackler was filmed telling him: “I work for the DOT, I understand how this works.”

At one point, she blamed her alleged mental state on a recent divorce and admitted she had “no balance.”

Police said multiple open bottles of wine were later found stashed in the car, which the mom claimed in the clip were “weeks old.”

Fackler subsequently failed multiple field sobriety exercises and later blew 0.371% — nearly five times the legal limit, cops said.

Fackler was criminally charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child in the wake of the incident, court records show.

She was also slapped with several citations, according to the video — including operating under the influence and reckless driving.

The Ewing Township Police didn’t immediately respond to The Post regarding the bodycam video.

It wasn’t immediately clear if Fackler was still employed by the DOT, but posts on LinkedIn indicated she once worked as a director of statewide planning.

The Post reached out to the DOT as well but didn’t hear back immediately.

Fackler couldn’t be reached for comment.
