From AL.com:

Huntsville police say a woman was over the legal limit for alcohol when she crashed her car into a creek on the city’s west side Thursday night. Motorists stopped to pull the woman and a child out of the burning vehicle.

…

[Melissa] Ford’s vehicle caught fire after crashing into the creek, reports said, and passersby stopped to pull her and 2-year-old Isabelle Young from inside. Both were rushed to Huntsville Hospital with injuries.

Police say Ford blew a .10 on a breath alcohol test after the accident. That is over the legal limit in Alabama of .08. Charges are expected after she is released from the hospital.

Stupid.  Just stupid.
