Newly seen dashcam footage shows the moment a drunken bikini-clad woman responsible in the deaths of a man and his unborn baby stumbles and sobs during her sobriety test.
Texas State University public relations student, Shana Elliot, 22, pleaded guilty Monday in the drunken car crash that took the lives of Fabian Guerrero Moreno, 23, and his unborn child on August 2, 2016.
Father-to-be Moreno was with his five-months pregnant wife, Kristian Nicole, who was injured – leading to the unborn child’s death.
In the upsetting video shown to the jury, shows Elliot is seen walking the line while telling a police officer, ‘kill me now, please… I just want them to be OK,’ following the fatal crash.
Elliot is heard complying with the cop while standing stiffly and saying ‘yes, sir’, then attempting to walk the line in a nervous manner.

The college girl admitted she had been drinking beer and liquor while floating down the river at Texas State Tubes with friends just before the horrific crash
Elliot’s blood alcohol level was .199 when she was taken to hospital after the crash, KXAN reports. The legal limit in Texas is 0.08.
She admitted to police that she had been drinking beer and liquor while floating down the river at Texas State Tubes with friends just before the horrific crash around 6pm.
Police said that the couple were driving in the opposite direction down Highway 21 in San Marcos when the public relations senior, driving a Chevy Impala, drifted into oncoming traffic and collided with their car head-on.
Mrs. Guerrero was driving the vehicle at the time, with her husband was sitting in the passenger seat.
Moreno died at the scene and his wife was taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Doctors then tried to save Guerrero’s baby by inducing labor – but, tragically, the child was stillborn.

The newlywed couple had been arguing about their baby’s middle name, with the husband pushing for Fabian James, if it was a boy, and the wife giving preference to Fabian Michael
‘The baby was just perfect,’ Guerrero’s aunt, Diane Castillo told People Magazine at the time.
‘Kristian got to hold his hand for a while, and his paternal grandmother got to hold him as well.’

She added that Moreno had always wanted to have a son and died not knowing his wife had been expecting a boy.

In the end, the young widow named her stillborn son Fabian James, like her husband wanted.
Her aunt said that a short time after the crash, doctors performed an ultrasound and detected the baby’s heartbeat.
‘Kristian was so relieved that she would still have part of her husband after finding out he had passed,’ the aunt explained.
But a repeat ultrasound showed that the baby had died in the womb.
Elliott is a senior at Texas State University, majoring in public relations and mass communications
Just a day before the deadly crash, Mrs Guerrero proudly shared this photo of their unborn child
Just hours before the crash, the couple checked into a Joe’s Crab Shack in San Antonio, celebrating Fabian’s new US residency status.
And the day before, Mrs Guerrero proudly posted a sonogram image of their unborn baby to Facebook, writing: ‘Is this the face of a little prince or a little princess?! We can’t wait to find out Sunday! Are you team boy or team girl?! Taking bets now!’
Elliott was taken to Central Texas Medical Center for minor injuries before she was booked on the charges.
Elliot was charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle and intoxication assault with a vehicle.
The trial, which started on Tuesday, will still go ahead – but because of Elliot’s plea, it will only be to determine her sentence.
