Wrong-way driver Diane Schuler — whose autopsy showed 6 grams of undigested booze in her stomach — was seen vomiting by the side of the road twice before her deadly head-on crash, police reports obtained by The Post showed.
Schuler stopped her red minivan loaded with kids on Route 17 at approximately 11:45 a.m. on July 26, the police report says.
“[The witnesses] noticed an adult female outside of the vehicle with brown hair, wearing blue, knee-length shorts, bent over with her hands on her knees, as if throwing up,” the report stated.
Afterward, the red van was seen “zigzagging in and out of traffic.”
Just north of the Ramapo rest stop, the witnesses “saw this same van pulled over” and the female “again with her hands on her knees.”
At 1:35 p.m. — driving the wrong way down the Taconic Parkway in Westchester — Schuler rammed her minivan into a Chevy Trailblazer.
Schuler, her daughter, Erin, 2, and her three nieces — Emma Hance, 8, Alyson Hance, 7, and Katie Hance, 5 — died in the crash. Killed in the Trailblazer were Michael Bastardi, 81, his son Guy Bastardi, 49, and Daniel Longo, 74.
An autopsy showed Schuler had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19. There also was evidence of a high level of THC in her blood, indicating she had smoked marijuana.
Mike Bastardi Jr., whose father, brother and family friend died in the crash, called the latest revelations “outrageous.”
“She threw up twice and kept drinking and smoking pot,” he alleged.
Irving Anolik, spokesman for the Bastardi family, said the findings “would indicate she had a lot more alcohol than we know about.”
A pathologist with forensic expertise said 6 grams — about a half a drink of 40-proof liquor — would not necessarily mean Schuler kept drinking after she vomited. The source said that it could have been reabsorbed alcohol after the time of death or that Schuler simply did not empty the entire contents of her stomach.
