Milwaukee woman charged in crash that killed her infant son

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Authorities have identified the 22-year-old Milwaukee woman accused of drunken driving in the crash that killed her 7-month-old son.

Regina Mitchell was charged Thursday with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with a prohibited blood-alcohol concentration and driving with a suspended license causing death.

A criminal complaint states Mitchell had a blood-alcohol level of 0.124, about one-and-a-half times the 0.08 limit for drivers in Wisconsin.

Milwaukee police say Mitchell was driving at a high rate of speed when she lost control of her vehicle early Wednesday morning. Police say the vehicle went off the road, struck a fence and a building, and then flipped.

Investigators say the baby was in infant carrier that was not secured in the vehicle.

It wasn’t immediately known if Mitchell has an attorney.
