Kelowna woman lucky to be alive

Victim hits road sign while hanging out truck window

A 22-year-old Kelowna woman is recovering from serious injuries, and 24-year-old Vernon woman faces drunk-driving charges after a reckless incident over the weekend. 

At around 11:15 pm Saturday, RCMP were called to Bottom Wood Lake Road in Lake Country where a woman was hurt after hanging herself out the passenger window of pick-up truck. 

Police say she was ripped from the vehicle after her body hit a passing street sign.

The driver failed a roadside breathalyzer, and samples provided later at police headquarters came up twice the legal limit. 

She's expected to appear in court on a later date.
