Angela Chao: Mitch McConnell’s Billionaire Sister-In-Law Was Three Times Over Legal Drinking Limit When She Backed Her Tesla into Pond and Died [Video]

Angela Chao, the billionaire sister-in-law of Senator Mitch McConnell, was reportedly drunk when she unintentionally backed her Tesla into a pond on a Texas ranch and died last month, according to police. The investigation conducted by the sheriff’s office determined that Chao’s death on February 10 was deemed “an unfortunate accident.”

The Blanco County Sheriff’s Office released a report on Wednesday revealing that Chao’s blood alcohol level was nearly three times the state’s legal limit when she backed her car into the pond while attempting a three-point turn. The incident took place while Chao was with seven of her girlfriends at a sprawling 4,500-acre private property in Texas’ Hill Country.
