Accused Drunk Driver Was Going 124 MPH Before Fatal Crash: Report

MAPLE GROVE, MN — An Otsego woman is facing felony charges after police alleged she was drunk and driving at more than 120 mph when she caused a fatal three-car crash last year in Maple Grove, according to multiple reports.

April O’Leary, 21, was charged Monday with criminal vehicular homicide and criminal vehicular operation related to a crash around 4:30 a.m. Sept. 12 on County Road 81, the Star Tribune reported, citing court documents.

That crash killed 67-year-old Phousalinh Khounpanya, of Dayton, and severely injured Joshua Goodall, of Rogers, according to the report.

Charging documents state a preliminary breath test showed O’Leary — who was not injured — had a blood alcohol content of 0.19 percent, more than twice the legal limit in Minnesota, the Star Tribune reported.
