A Hamilton County woman is accused of driving drunk and crashing her vehicle into a creek last month.

On Nov. 1, around 3:15 a.m., State Police responded to a report of a woman hurt in the area of Tanner Road in Hope. Troopers found an unoccupied vehicle that crashed off the roadway into a creek on Creek Road.

Police said they found the driver Elizabeth Ryan, 45, of Piseco, at a residence on Hope Falls Road. She was taken to the hospital for her injuries.
