VIDEO: Woman charged with 4th DUI
A woman from Lewes, Delaware has been charged with her 4th DUI offense after crashing her car late Thursday night.

LEWES, Del. -- A Delaware woman has been arrested on charges of drunken driving for the fourth time in five years.

Delaware State Police say 42-year-old Jean Steiner of Lewes was driving Thursday night when her car veered off the road. When Steiner tried to get back on the roadway, her car flipped and landed in the middle of the road on its roof.

Steiner was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and released soon after.

She was then charged with drunken driving, failing to carry insurance and registration, and failing to stay in one lane.

Police say Steiner has three previous DUI convictions: in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Steiner was arraigned and is in custody at the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution in New Castle.

It's unclear whether she has an attorney.
