A driver had to be rescued from a car that ended up in a road side ravine in Salem Lakes Saturday morning.
The crash occurred at Highways F and W.
The driver, the only occupant of the vehicle, was freed by fire personnel who used a rope system to get her out of the ravine, said Salem Lakes Fire/Rescue Chief James Lejcar.
Besides Salem Lakes Fire/Rescue, personnel from Bristol Fire and Recue and Twin Lakes Fire and Rescue along with sheriff’s deputies also responded to the scene.
The driver was transported to a local hospital with what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuires, Lejcar said.
