FRUITA, Colo. - If a Western Slope woman is to be believed, vampires may be lurking in Colorado's Grand Valley.

The woman claims she spotted a vampire in the middle of a dirt road near Fruita, Colo. Sunday night. She told Colorado State Troopers she was startled by the undead being, threw her SUV into reverse, and crashed into a canal.

She was not injured.

State Troopers say the woman's husband arrived at the scene and took her home. The vampire, which was not seen by anyone else, apparently let her get away.

Troopers do not suspect drugs or alcohol to be factors in the crash.

[Nite Owl]

2. She's been watching way

to much True Blood.

8. Oh, if he looked like "Eric Northman" , I guarantee she'd have stopped...

[xchrom]

12. Oh honey, yes! My my - stop for that any time. Nt

[Ilsa]

23. For me, it's not Eric's appearance that gets to me. It's his voice. nt

27. "I have to sell you the car for a dollar, to avoid that pesky gift tax"

That show is growing on me.

[Historic NY]

3. That sucks!

[hlthe2b]

5. How exactly did she determine the figure to be a vampire?

Inquiring minds want to know..

[sarge43]

6. It was sparkly. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

7. It's not true. I know for a fact that Edward was on a date with Bella that night.

[miyazaki]

9. Well my town is full of bloodsuckers!

In one form or another.

[LWolf]

10. Words fail me.

[cloudbase]

11. That reminds me of the

Twilight Zone episode where the teller of tall tales was abducted by aliens but nobody believed him.

[Blue For You]

13. Maybe she needs to drive a Buick LaCrosse!

Known to repel vamps.

[Chulanowa]

14. The sparkling must have blinded her momentarily

[Hannah Bell]

15. vampires from outer space -- that's what the strange lights were --

[Ter]

16. Maybe she's telling the truth

[Skidmore]

17. Does Cheney have an alibi at the time?

[Dogtown]

18. *Not* a vampire.

It was a maenad. The pig-tracks should have alerted the police.

[hobbit709]

19. Or one of the Kallikantzaroi

[Dogtown]

20. Nicely obscure!

I was referring to a focal character in True Blood's 2nd season, since it plays so well into the scenario. I have to admit that I was unaware of the term "maenad" until those episodes.
I had to look your reference up. Wiki is my crutch.

You must have an pretty amazing knowledge of arcane trivia.

[warren pease]

21. Cheney hurrying to his crypt before the sun vaporizes him. n/t

[conspirator]

22. If she says she saw something, I believe her. Maybe it was not a vampire. That's not the point

She shouldn't be ridiculed as Dennis Kucinich was.

[WI_DEM]

24. I wonder if the vampire was young and built such as in "Twilight"?

[rusty fender]

25. A vampire deer perhaps?

[undergroundpanther]

26. It was ...Edward....

All his fault..if there were some werewolves around...
