Black Ice Causes Rollover Crash on SR 545, Seat Belt Saved Driver From More Serious Injury
From Local Sources
DUBOIS -- Slick road conditions believed to have caused a crash Thursday on SR 545 in Dubois.
Police say a driver lost control of her vehicle causing her to spin and run off of the roadway.
The vehicle then hit a guardrail and rolled over it down an embankment. The car came to a rest on its top in a water filled ditch.
Remarkably, the woman was able to free herself from the vehicle. A passerby stopped and helped until EMS arrived.
The driver was taken to the hospital for head pain but deputies say the use of a seat belt greatly reduced injury in the crash.
