"Mayor Matt Larson said he believes Whalawitsa was knocked out, awoke to find herself alone in the mangled car and -- perhaps because she was disoriented -- mistakenly concluded her son had gone home himself.
"Larson said Whalawitsa was so out of it that she stumbled into the river before making her way up the embankment to the road."
She must've been really drunk to have no clue.
Only if not was she really callous.
We had a local police chief here in the metro of Minnesota pull this similar stunt:crashed his car, left his gun in the car, walked to a friend's house, then claimed he was just 'going for help',but didn't notify all the people from his department looking for him for hours.
