PARKE COUNTY—  A Terre Haute woman was transported to an area hospital for complaint of pain following a one-vehicle crash today in Lyford.

Indiana State Police Sgt. Watts explained that the 2003 Chevrolet four-door car, driven by Blair Webster, 24, was northbound on US 41 near Seventh Street just after 1 p.m.

" As she entered a left curve in the roadway, she failed to negotiate the curve and traveled off the north side of the roadway and rolled over onto the vehicle’s top," Watts said, noting that Webster was entrapped briefly before being extricated by members of the Lyford Fire/Rescue Department.
 
Reportedly, off-duty officers ISP Master Trooper Ty Lightle and Dana Town Marshal C.B. MacLaren were at a nearby residence and responded to the scene after hearing the crash. The officers provided assistance until other first responders arrived.

Webster was cited for speed too fast to avoid a collision
​
The crash was investigated by ISP Master Trooper Gary Winters. Assisting were ISP Sergeant Joe Watts, Parke County Sheriff’s Deputy Sergeant Brad McNeill, Clinton Police Chief Billy MacLaren, Rosedale Deputy Town Marshal Chris Newman, Lyford Fire/Rescue, Parke County EMS, and Clinton Ford Wrecker Service.
