Drunk Driver Crashes Into Parsippany School Bus: Police

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A drunk driver crashed her car Dec. 6 into a Parsippany school bus, causing a three-vehicle crash, according to police. Cristin Isaacson drove at nearly twice New Jersey's legal limit, authorities said.

The crash occurred at 3:35 p.m. that afternoon at Troy and Mazdabrook Roads, police said. Isaacson drove her vehicle across the yellow line, hitting the right side of the bus toward the rear, authorities said. Her vehicle then bounced off a guard rail and came to rest after hitting a third vehicle, according to the crash report.

Ten passengers occupied the school bus during the crash, police said. No injuries were reported.

Officer Jeffrey Williams responded to the crash and found Isaacson in front of Care One, which is on Mazdabrook Road. Isaacson, of Mountainside, slurred her speech and smelled of alcohol, police said. She told police she was talking to her lawyer, the incident report states.

After Isaacson failed sobriety tests, police found she had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.15 percent, according to authorities. New Jersey's legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Isaacson, 40, was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and traffic on marked lanes.
