Initial information from the scene was that the female operator was slurring her words and slumped over the steering wheel.

Sauk County Deputies arrived on scene and located a 2011 Hyundia Elantra still located in the ditch on the north side of HWY 58. Contact was made with the operator who was identified as the registered owner of the vehicle Debra R. Kohl, age 56 of Lodi.
