A woman plead guilty in a deadly DUI crash on I-95 in South Philadelphia in 2022 that claimed the lives of two Pennsylvania State Troopers and a pedestrian.

Now, she will spend at least 27 years in prison, according to news reports.

Last year, 23-year-old Jayana Webb struck and killed state troopers Martin F. Mack, III, 33, and Branden T Sisca, 29, as well as 28-year-old Reyes Rivera Oliveras on Interstate 95 near the Broad Street exit.

Webb entered her plea on Wednesday to multiple charges, including third-degree murder and homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence. She was sentenced to 27 1⁄2 years to 60 years.

“Today’s conviction of Jayana Webb is a just resolution of one of the most shocking incidents of vehicular violence in recent memory,” District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement to NBC10 .

But Webb’s prison time has been delayed because she is seven months pregnant, KYW Newsradio reported.

The incident occurred around 12:40 a.m. on March 21, 2022, in the southbound lanes of I-95 near Lincoln Financial Field. Mack and Sisca had just pulled over Webb when they received a call about a man, Oliveras, who was walking on the highway and left Webb as they responded to him.

As they attended to Oliveras, Webb, who had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit of .08, fatally struck all three men and the patrol car at a high rate of speed. The impact was so great that it threw the two troopers and Oliveras into the northbound lanes of I-95.

She remained at the scene with her badly damaged vehicle.

In a tweet posted before the crash, Webb seemingly documented the traffic stop tweeting, “why the cop pull me & say I’m doing 110 ina 50.”

In another tweet from mid-January, Webb bragged about her ability to drink to drive.

“If you ask me, I’m the best drunk driver ever,” the post read, Fox29 reported.
