Woman sweetening coffee drives into river

 Idiot of the Day Award winner:
An Oregon woman lost control of her SUV and plunged into the Santiam River on Saturday morning.


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
