Bowes and her young child, who was in the back seat of her car, were taken to South Shore hospital, where the medical team treating her found signs she was impaired and flagged her for police. Investigators found she had cocaine, benzodiazepines and cannabinoids in her system, prosecutors said.
Bowes will spend three to five years in prison, followed by five years' probation, for motor vehicle homicide, child endangerment while operating under the influence and reckless endangerment of a child. She'll have to surrender her driver's license for 15 years.
