Just Say 'No' To Ambien

Believe me, I know.

Woman who hit teens had combination of drugs in system

Denver Police say Sandra Maul drove her SUV onto the sidewalk on South Federal Boulevard on November 17, killing 14-year-old friends, Jessie Aguirre and Nhan Nguyen.

The boys were walking home from Lincoln High School when they were hit.

According to a search warrant affidavit, Maul told police she took the sleeping medication Ambien, the day before the accident, but could not remember whether she took it the day of.

Preliminary partial results from a urine sample taken the day of the crash show that Maul did have three different prescription drugs in her system.

They included Meprobamate, a central nervous system depressant, Fluoxetine, an anti-depressant commonly known as Prozac, and Tramadel, a pain medication.

The toxicology program manager told police the combination of the three would likely impair a driver's ability to safely operate a car.

Maul is currently in fair condition at Denver Health Medical Center.
