A Marshall County woman faces a DUI charge after a single-vehicle accident Sunday evening.
A Marshall County Sheriff's Deputy responded to the wreck on Old Olive Road about 6:25 pm. Investigation at the scene determined that 43-year-old Jennifer S. Smith of Gilbertsville was driving north when her vehicle drifted off the pavement. She over-corrected and the vehicle left the opposite side of the road and hit a utility pole.
Witnesses at the scene said Smith tried to put the vehicle in reverse and leave the scene. They also told the deputy they saw her throw something from the vehicle. A bottle of vodka was found nearby.
The deputy said when he spoke with Smith, her speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment of injuries she received, and was cited to court for DUI.
