SPARTA, N.J. — A New York woman is facing numerous charges, including DWI, after she allegedly crashed her car while drunk and wearing only an unzipped jacket when authorities found her. 

Scantily clad 36-year-old Catherine Giaquinto crashed her car into a New Jersey retaining wall and drove off Friday, according to police.

According to the Seattle Times, Officer Joseph Pensado stopped her moments after the accident and said she told him she couldn’t remember the accident or where she was going. 

WTSP reported the officer asked the woman about being naked and she denied being nude. 

The officer reported seeing clothes in the car and asked her to get dressed. 

Pensade said, after several minutes she emerged with her dress on inside-out and backwards.
