Officer accused of killing 4 in wreck charged

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — An off-duty Missouri police officer who investigators said killed four people in a drunken driving accident has been charged in their deaths.

Prosecutors said 41-year-old Christine Miller was charged Tuesday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter-driving while intoxicated.

The veteran Sunset Hills police officer is accused of driving on the wrong side of a road early March 21 and slamming into another vehicle. The four passengers in the other car were from India and died instantly.

A prosecutor said Miller’s blood-alcohol level three hours after the wreck was 0.169 – more than twice the legal limit.

Miller was still being booked late Tuesday afternoon and was unavailable for comment. It wasn’t clear whether she had an attorney.
