NAPLES, Florida -- A woman found unresponsive and without a pulse in a car Wednesday on Alligator Alley was revived by a state trooper and then arrested because, authorities said, she was driving under the influence.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper responded to a traffic crash on eastbound Interstate 75 near mile marker 85 in Collier County at 11:45 p.m. The trooper found a vehicle resting against the south shoulder fence line, according to an FHP news release Thursday.
Inside the locked car, the trooper found an unresponsive woman, later identified as Cory Lynn Webster, 32, of Delray Beach, sitting in the driver's seat.
Concerned for her well-being, the trooper broke the rear passenger window to gain access and discovered that Webster did not have a pulse, the release states.
To gain better access, the trooper then broke the driver's side window, carried Webster out of the car and began to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation, reviving the woman a short time later.
Webster was taken to a Physicians Regional Hospital.
Upon being treated and released from the hospital, the trooper arrested Webster. She faces charges of driving under the influence (third violation in 10 years) and driving while her license is suspended, the release states.
A breath test showed her alcohol concentration level to be 0.39, according to FHP. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.
Drug screen results are pending.
