Virginia State Police say a woman was charged with drunk driving following a bizarre accident early Wednesday on 5th Street Extended. One State Police official describes it as something you might see in the Dukes of Hazzard. In the early morning hours of Wednesday, there was a short pursuit involving a state trooper and a speeding vehicle. The car was pulled over on 5th Street Extended near I-64, the driver got out of the car and fled, and the trooper eventually called in a tow-truck to haul away the suspect vehicle. At around 2:30 a.m., a 2003 Ford Taurus approaching the three parked vehicles at a high rate of speed hit the state trooper's cruiser and the suspect's car, and then went up the tow truck ramp that had been lowered. The car flew up the ramp, over the cab of the tow truck and then landed right-side up on all four wheels in front of the tow truck. There were no injuries. State Police say the driver of the airborne car was 34-year-old Jodie Ellen Finney of Blue Jay Way in Albemarle's Briarwood subdivision. State Police say Finney was charged with DUI.
My kind of woman!
I'd love to see the video (if, as the blog linked above says, the Virginia State Police trooper had his dash camera running...)
