State police said 42-year-old Trena Fiels was trying to put sugar in a cup of coffee when her SUV left Highway 22 just west of Big Cliff Dam and Detroit Lake.
Fiels' SUV drifted off the road and she overcorrected to the left, swerving across the highway and a large shoulder turnout before plunging down a 40-foot embankment, troopers said.
Police said Fiels' vehicle came to rest partially submerged in the Santiam River. Fiels lives in Detroit. She was taken to a hospital by an ambulance to be treated for minor injuries

I can hear the law suit claim already: "But neither the coffee cup nor the packet of sugar told me not to mix the two whilst driving. So, who's gonna pay for my car?!"
Did she make the actual cup of coffee in her car, too? Is there a now-soggy coffee maker that plugs into the cigarette lighter?
