COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. - A car crashed into a water-filled ditch along Interstate 5 on Wednesday morning, injuring the driver.
Kara E. Linn, 28, of Yoncalla, Ore., lost control of her 1996 Acura on wet pavement around 9:20 a.m.
The car went off the road and overturned before coming to rest upsidedown in 3 feet of water, state police said.
South Lane Fire and Rescue got Linn out of the car and took her to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend. State police characterized her injuries as not life-threatening.
The crash happened on I-5 northbound about 3 miles south of Cottage Grove.
hope she's ok...
Scary!
Please BE CAREFUL out there on the WET Roads : )
This must be what I passed this morning on way up to Eugene...two State Troupers, and a Road Assistant Vehicle all with lights on, but could not see an actual accident... No skid marks, no trees out of place, but difficult to see down in ditch off highway, so it must have been a scary drop for her... Glad she survived....Sunday I passed the horrific scene from the car that was hit head on near Canyonville killing driver..., To many lives lost on the Oregon Highways :( Mattias Rahm....here's the story
Wow! She's lucky she was just hurt and no killed! That looks awful! The roads have been so slick lately, drive safe, people!
