Two injured in single-vehicle Forestville crash
A 65-year-old Forestville woman and her young passenger from Algoma suffered minor injuries after she allegedly drove off the road in the village Tuesday afternoon. The crash occurred on State Highway 42 near Commercial Street in the Village of Forestville shortly past 4:20 p.m. According to the accident report, the woman told deputies she had braked for something in the roadway. She swerved off the highway, striking a mailbox and a utility pole guide wire before continuing along in a ditch before the vehicle eventually stopped. The initial investigation suggests that there were no signs of braking in the roadway and that tire marks in the ditch indicate the vehicle may have been airborne at one point. Both the woman and young girl suffered possible injuries but did not have to be transported for additional medical treatment. The woman was cited for failing to keep her vehicle under control.
