6 kids hurt, boy loses foot in suspected drunk-driving crash

Stanesha Allen
A mother of six has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after a rollover accident that injured herself and six children inside her SUV, including a boy who had to have his foot amputated.

Stanesha Allen, 31, of Lake Los Angeles, was driving the 2002 Toyota Sequoia east on East Avenue I about 5:15 a.m. Sunday when she lost control of the vehicle, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The SUV flipped over four times, leaving some of the children partially ejected, officials said.

Investigators were trying to determine if all the children were wearing seat belts or if they were restrained in car seats.

Paramedics airlifted a 1-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl to Antelope Valley Hospital with major injuries, including head trauma.
