MANISTIQUE, MI-- A Manistique woman charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, causing serious injury has pleaded guilty to the charge.
Theresa Gorney, 32, was arrested June 15 after she crossed the centerline of M-94 at the Siphon Bridge and hit an SUV containing an Illinois couple head-on. The couple was taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
At her preliminary hearing Thursday Gorney said she tried to kill herself the day before the accident by taking a bottle of Xanax and a bottle of Ambien. She said she woke up in jail two days later.
Gorney faces up to five years in prison. She’s set to be sentenced November 5 in Schoolcraft County Circuit Court.
