A woman is facing DUI charges after police say she fell 20 feet when she stopped on the side of the road in Newark, Delaware to urinate early Sunday morning.
Melissa Selak, 33, of Wilmington, Delaware was driving a 2014 Chrysler 200 with her friend eastbound on Delaware Route 2, Capitol Trail at Green Valley around 1:40 a.m. when she stopped on the side of the road to pee, according to investigators.
Selak, who police say was extremely intoxicated, staggered westbound down the shoulder, lost her balance and toppled over the guardrail, falling 20 feet down into a creek bed, officials said.
State Troopers, firefighters and medics quickly arrived at the scene and removed Selak from the creek. She was transported to Christiana Hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. She is currently in stable condition.
After an investigation, Selak was charged with DUI and other related traffic offenses.
