(La Porte County, IN) - A natural gas leak in the Westville area over the weekend was caused by a suspected drunk driver.

La Porte County Police said 38-year-old Agnes Graham had a blood alcohol level more than four times the legal limit. Earlier on Saturday, Graham drove into a ditch before pulling into the Whiteford Kenworth truck dealership on State Road 2 near U.S. 421.

She was leaving when her SUV struck the gas meter on the building hard enough to start leaking.

The Westville Fire Department responded to the scene (in addition to a representative from NIPSCO) to shut off the leak and repair the damage.

She was not injured.  Police said her blood alcohol level was slightly above .34 percent. The La Porte area woman admitted to consuming several shots prior to the incident.
