A woman who drove into a sand trap on a Massachusetts golf course claims her Buick’s GPS told her to do it.
But police suspect that she was driving drunk, and say that they found a cup of booze in her car, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reported.
Several golfers were on the course at Whitinsville Golf Club in Northbridge, Mass., when Patricia A. Maione, 46, drove into the sand trap around 5:45 p.m. Monday, but no one was hurt, the newspaper reported.
Maione reportedly claimed that the GPS told her to make a left that brought her into a 'cornfield,' and that she kept driving straight in the hopes of leaving the field.
"Ms. Maione stated that she did not even like golf," Northbridge police officer Randy Lloyd told the Telegram and Gazette.
Maione was driving through the course at 45 miles per hour, police told the newspaper. She failed a sobriety test, and later admitted to consuming half a liter of vodka earlier that morning. She was arrested on drunk-driving charges.
