Kelly Dixon accused of DWI crash at daughter’s school; Dixon was convicted of 1997 drunken crash that killed her son
This has to be what rock bottom looks like. Last Wednesday afternoon, Kelly Dixon allegedly crashed her 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass into a stop sign swing arm while trying to pick up her daughter from St. Elizabeth School.
Dixon 42, had been in this situation before. In February 1997, she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a drunken-driving crash that killed her 23-month-old son (the Star reported that Dixon’s blood-alcohol content was .25 in that case). In August 1999, she was convicted of felony DWI.
On Wednesday, she was picking up her daughter from school after drinking a beer and four shots of tequila at a bar. Authorities received a call of someone skipping out on a bar tab. Court records say Dixon paid for a Pale Ale, ordered four shots of Cuervo Gold but skipped out on paying for the shots when the bartender cut her off, court records say.
Then came the crash in the parking lot of her daughter’s school.
