Woman says she crashed while trying to avoid vampire

A woman says she crashed into a canal after spotting a vampire in the middle of a dirt road on the Western Slope on Sunday night.

The woman told the Colorado State Patrol that she saw the vampire in front of her car so she put her SUV into reverse and went into the canal in Mesa County. She was not injured and her name was not released.



State Patrol says it does not believe drugs or alcohol was involved in the crash and the woman was not charged.

However, investigators say there is evidence the woman was not taking her prescribed medication. They added they found no evidence of a vampire.
