An intoxicated woman plowed her car across a Florida beach packed for Memorial Day weekend, narrowly missing people standing at the water's edge before crashing into the ocean, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

Footage from a police helicopter shows the car sitting in the water at New Smyrna Beach on Saturday as people crowded around.

The driver, Sarah Ramsammy, 26, had a blood alcohol level that was almost twice the legal limit under Florida law, police said. She was charged with DUI and reckless driving and booked into jail.

According to witnesses, Ramsammy was traveling at around 50 mph and almost hit a child and a dog on the beach.
