Greencastle woman injured in Monday accident
A Greencastle woman was airlifted to an Indianapolis hospital following a single-vehicle accident east of Chadd Valley late Monday morning.
At 11:40 a.m. 33-year-old Lacy A. Wells, 33 was westbound on State Road 240 just west of County Road 500 East in a 2009 Honda CR-V.
Markings on the road indicated that Wells’ vehicle left the north side of the road before traveling down an embankment and continuing into the front yard at 459 E. SR 240, where it struck a tree.
The car came to rest facing northbound.
The impact entrapped Wells in the vehicle. Once she was extricated from the car by Fillmore Fire Department personnel, Operation Life transported her to the area of the Putnam County Humane Society, where a landing zone had been set up for a Stat Flight helicpoter. She was flown to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for the severe injury to her leg.
Deputy Jacob Harrington investigated the accident, with assistance from deputies Tanner Brown and Virgil Lanning, as well as Sheriff Scott Stockton.
The vehicle was towed. Damage was estimated at $10,000-$25,000.
