SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A California Highway Patrol officer smashed the window of a moving car to rescue a driver passed out behind the wheel on a San Diego freeway.

Officers found Amber Morgan on the 805 Freeway near Clairemont Mesa Boulevard just before 1 a.m.

An officer woke Morgan by tapping on her window, but the car began rolling down the freeway. That's when he jumped into action.

Officers arrested Morgan on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was being held on $2,500 bail.
