If you happened to watch the following surveillance footage released by the Wellesley (Massachusetts) MA Police Department without knowing the story, you would probably be scratching your head trying to figure out where the heck did that SUV come from; and rightly so, as it appears that the vehicle came flying into a line of cars from nowhere land.
The driver of the SUV was emergency room doctor Kristin Howard, 56, who was named 'Doctor of the Year' at Newtown-Wellesley Hospital in 2009.
According to the police report obtained by the Boston Channel, Howard was drunk and on drugs when she tried to drive out of the Whole Foods Market on Washington Street on Tuesday morning.
The highly intoxicated doctor first hit a van, then put her vehicle in reverse and hit a fence a couple more times before she went full speed ahead across the parking lot, hitting a post that sent the SUV into the air and onto a Mercury Marquis, which then crashed into a dump truck.
The driver of the Mercury, 78-year-old Paul McDonald of Wellesley, suffered two broken ribs bones from the impact.
As for the doctor, her lawyer told reporters that she was "struggling to deal with a sick mother". The 56-year old woman was arrested by police for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, but was released on "personal recognizance". She was also suspended from her hospital duties pending an investigation on the incident.
Thanks to Maria S. for the tip!

Suspend her license and send her for a wonderful vacation in jail!
"was released on personal recognizance" -> pathetic.....
Don't worry about "our" country. Worry about yours who's economy is about to fall into the pits of hell. She probably was over-busy with patients that travel from Europe to get actual health care to save their lives rather than the free crap that gets handed out there.
suicide bomber style though she forgot the explosives ...
First, if an emergency room is over-busy, it expands and hires more staff. Second, no one from Europe ends up in a Massachusetts emergency room unless they have an emergency in the hospital area. Third, health outcomes in European countries (not Bulgaria and Romania, but all the countries more equal to the US) are similar or in some areas better than in the US. We just pay as much as twice as much while (until the next couple of years) leaving a substantial number of Americans without access to healthcare other than the emergency room, then running out on the bill. Universal health care makes emergency rooms LESS busy. The major cause of personal bankrupcy in the US? Health care crises. In those European countries? No one goes bankrupt because of getting cancer or needing brain surgery.
Turn off Rush Limbaugh and Fox News and stop reading crackpot internet sites. Get actual information about how the world works. It's readily available.
Don't blame health care for money problems..... Blame the credit you take and don't pay back... If you saved your money like the rest of the world and didn't spend it on frivolous crap maybe you would have enough money for health care and would be in NO FINANCIAL CRISIS!
