E. Wakefield woman gets 6 months in New Year's Eve DWI crash that killed brother

DOVER - An East Wakefield woman who was driving drunk on New Year's Eve was sentenced to six months in jail in a car crash that tragically killed her brother in 2017.

Dianne Jenner, 46, pleaded guilty to negligent homicide earlier this month in Strafford County Superior Court, and was immediately remanded to Strafford County Jail to serve her sentence.

Jenner was driving a Mitsubishi Endeavor on Dec. 31, 2017, when she rolled it over while driving north on Route 125 in Milton.

Donald Thomas, 58, of Moultonborough, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene near Exit 18.

Police were called to the scene a little before 10 p.m. and found the Mitsubishi about 50 feet off the north side of the roadway.

Jenner sustained minor injuries in the crash.
