Dixon mom arrested on DWI charges after crashing car with kids inside
DIXON, Mo. (July 3, 2009) — State troopers arrested a Dixon mother Friday afternoon on drunk driving charges after they say she totaled her car in a crash with her two children inside.

According to Missouri State Highway Patrol reports, Ashley M. Monell, 22, was southbound on Highway 133 about four miles south of Dixon when she failed to negotiate a curve about 12:30 p.m., ran her 1997 Plymouth Breeze off the right side of the roadway and hit a tree.

Monell, who was not wearing her seat belt, suffered minor injuries, as did her two children, Patricia T. Monell, 6, and Connor K. Monell, 4. Neither of the children were in child restraints, according to the state patrol report.

Ashley Monell was transported by Dixon Ambulance District paramedics to Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, and at 3:15 p.m. was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, transported to the Pulaski County Jail, and subsequently released. Her son and daughter were transported to the same hospital by private vehicle.

The car was left at the crash scene.
