A Springfield woman driving drunk when she caused a fatal traffic crash last July has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Audrey Jeanette Driscoll’s blood alcohol level was more than four times the legal limit when her car crossed the centerline and hit a pickup, killing the other driver, Scott Beshears of Springfield. Court documents showed that Driscoll’s blood alcohol level was .335. The legal limit in Missouri is .08. Driscoll has two previous drunk driving convictions. She was driving without a license because the license had been suspended until 2009.
