Foremost Group CEO Angela Chao was intoxicated when she accidentally drove her Tesla into a pond at a ranch she owned with her husband, venture capitalist Jim Breyer, after a gathering there last month with friends, a police report released Wednesday reveals.

Chao, 50, was the sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is married to her sister, former Cabinet secretary Elaine Chao.

The new report details the frantic unsuccessful effort to get Chao out of the Tesla X she was stuck in, and a phone call the shipping company executive made to a friend as water entered her vehicle.

"In a calm voice, Chao informs [Amber Landeau-Kienan] she is not able to get out of the vehicle," the Blanco County Sheriff's Department report recounted.

Chao called Landeau-Kienan at about 11:42 p.m., the report said.
