Elizabeth Brooks was sentenced to 11 years in prison for gross vehicular manslaughter after causing a tragic crash that resulted in the death of 62-year-old John Fraser. The incident occurred on June 18, 2024, when Brooks' Maserati crashed into a parked pickup and a tree. After fleeing the scene, she called 911 over 30 minutes later. Evidence revealed her blood-alcohol content was 0.26%, significantly over the legal limit. In court, Brooks expressed remorse but faced a stern sentence from Judge Weinreb, highlighting the societal consequences of such reckless behavior.
Judge Weinreb emphasized, "I do think that society needs to be reminded that these actions have consequences... No one should get behind the wheel of the car in today's age when they have other opportunities available."
Brooks, who lives within walking distance from the scene, fled. More than half an hour passed before she called 911, while medics were trying to save John Fraser.
