Nun faces DWI charge after parkway crash

MIDDLETOWN — A 76-year-old nun has been charged with driving while intoxicated after an accident on the Garden State Parkway as she was returning from Belmar's St. Patrick's Day parade, state police said.

Sister Mary George Barlow — a Bayside, N.Y., resident and nun with Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in Albany, N.Y. — was traveling northbound in the parkway's local lanes about 4 p.m. March 6, said New Jersey State Trooper Thomas Powell, when she hit the rear passenger side of a car being driven by Sharon M. Anuario, 49, of Bridgewater.

Powell said she was traveling at an excessive speed. After hitting Anuario's car near mile marker 113, Barlow drove off the road and hit two trees in a nearby wooded area, Powell said. She did not appear to be wearing a seat belt, he said.

Anuario's car spun clockwise and stopped in the roadway.

1. Just shows that a couple of beers
can do you in if you aren't used to it.
On the serious side a nun alone? In the old days they always had to go in pairs at least.

3. I had a friend from college
who got hit by a nun who ran a red light. Messed him up really bad - he was in the hospital for almost a year.

They settled out of court. Instant millionaire. And, he healed completely.

I guess all those nun prayers worked.................
