A woman told state troopers she was fleeing a vampire when she ran her sport-utility vehicle into a canal in Mesa County Sunday night, KKCO television station in Grand Junction reported.
The woman, whose name was not released, told a trooper she was traveling alone about 9:25 p.m. on a dirt road near Fruita when she came upon the vampire, threw her vehicle in reverse and ran off the road. The SUV came to rest on its passenger side.
She was not injured, and since neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected she was not charged, according to the State Patrol.
The station reported today that she might not have taken some medicine the day of the incident. Her husband arrived soon after the wreck and took her home, KKCO reported.
The incident comes amid the hype surrounding the latest "Twilight" vampire-romance movie is set to be released today.
Colorado has a number of vampire-related interest groups, including "vampire-friendly bars and clubs" in Denver and Colorado Springs, according to an Internet search.
