She was hospitalized in the crash. "This tragic case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of impaired driving. Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of Cole Sevigny as they continue to cope with this unimaginable loss. I want to thank the New York State Police and all those involved in this investigation for their professionalism, diligence, and commitment to seeking justice." Armbruster was to 2 1/3 to 7 years in New York state prison, along with a revocation of her driver's license.
