A drunk policewoman crashed her car into their vehicle on a highway in Missouri.

Four Indian IT students, including three girls, were killed and another was injured when an off-duty and apparently drunk policewoman crashed her car into their vehicle on a highway in Missouri.

The five, all hailing from Andhra Pradesh and studying for MS degree in information technology in Eastern Illinois University, was returning home on a Honda Accord when the policewoman's SUV, speeding on the wrong lane, hit them head-on in Des Peres, authorities said.

Four of the students — Anusha Anumolu (23), Satya S Chinta (25), Anita Lakshmi (23) and Priya Muppvarapu (23) — died on the spot while 27-year-old Nitesh Adusumilli, who was driving the car, was seriously injured.

The policewoman, identified as 41-year-old Chrissy Miller, was off-duty from her job at the Sunset Hills Police Department. She is also in a critical condition at St John's Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur, media reports said.

"They had a plan to go to an Indian restaurant and going to bowling alley, and they were returning back to home," said Suren Pathuri, an acquaintance of the victims. He said the bodies of the four victims will be sent to India.

"We do suspect that alcohol may have played a part in this crash on Miss Miller's part," said Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergent Al Nothum. "The investigation is ongoing," he said.

03/22/2009 - Alcohol may have been a factor in a collision between two vehicles Saturday morning in Des Peres that took the lives of four people and left two in critical condition.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by off-duty Sunset Hills Police Officer Christine L. Miller of Kirkwood was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of Dougherty Ferry Road at approximately 1:45 a.m. Saturday, March 21, when the accident occurred.

The second vehicle, a 1997 Honda Accord driven by 27-year-old Nitesh Adusumilli of Ballwin, was turning right onto westbound Dougherty Ferry Road from Des Peres Road when it was struck by Miller's vehicle.

Four passengers in Adusumilli's car were pronounced dead at the scene by Kirkwood emergency personnel. The victims are: 23-year-old Anusha Anumolu of Charleston, Ill.; 25-year-old Satya S. Chinta of Aurora, Ill.; 23-year-old Anita Lakshmi of Charleston; and 22-year-old Prya Muppvarapu of Charleston.

Miller and Adusumilli were both taken to St. John's Mercy Medical Center. Miller is listed as critical; Adusumilli has been upgraded from critical condition to serious.

Miller, 41, was traveling the wrong direction on Dougherty Ferry Road at the time of the crash, said police.

"We do suspect that alcohol may have played a part in this crash on Miss Miller's part," said Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Al Nothum. "The investigation is ongoing."

Sunset Hills Police Chief William LaGrand offered his condolences to family members of the victims and to the families of those who survived the crash.

He said Miller is a patrol officer who has had a variety of different assignments on the force, and that everyone there was devastated.

"Officer Miller was a good police officer who to my recollection did not have any problems in the 12 years she was with us," said LaGrand.

Miller, who is unmarried, has one son, Brian C. Miller.

In 2008, Brian Miller was involved in a one-car crash in Laclede County in which one of his passengers, 23-year-old Salvatore R. Carrabino, was killed. According to police reports, Brian Miller lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and struck a tree. Both Brian Miller and a second passenger, Aaron M. Stanton, were seriously injured in the crash. Brian Miller faces charges as a result of that crash including involuntary manslaughter and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. His trial is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14, in Laclede County.
