A woman whose SUV became stuck on a flight of stairs outside a police station says she was only following directions given to her by GPS.
The incident happened on Saturday outside of the Portland Police Department in southern Maine.

"She said she was following her GPS instructions but responding officers felt it was her excessive blood alcohol level," the Portland Police Department posted on Facebook, along with photos of the crash.
No injuries were reported.
"We are fortunate that she didn't strike anyone and this ended with just a small amount of property damage," police said, adding: "Please don't drink and drive."
