Teen Mom Pleads Guilty to Crash

A Bay Shore 19-year-old admitted to DWI when she passed out behind the wheel and crashed into a tree last March. The accident she caused broke her 4-year-old daughter’s neck and severed her spine leaving her paralyzed. Shenow needs a respirator because she was not secured in a car seat.

Samantha Alfaro pleaded guilty at  Nassau County court to vehicular assault and DWI under Leandra’s law, and pled guilty to endangering the welfare of a minor.

Alfaro’s blood-alcohol content was .11 percent nearly an hour after the crash. Inside her vehicle, police found a half-empty bottle of vodka, plastic cups, and multiple empty beer bottles.

Alfaro will be sentenced to three to nine years in prison March 2.
