Sheriff's Department

* At 5:21 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20, Jacqueline J. Shepherd, 29, Brazil, was eastbound on U.S. 36 in a 2003 Dodge Caravan. She told Deputy Philip Troyer that as she rounded a curve near County Road 775 West, her van began to fishtail, causing her to lose control of it on the wet pavement.

The van then left the road and entered a ditch. Witnesses said the vehicle rolled three or four times before coming to rest on the driver's side.

Dispatch told Troyer the occupants were trapped, but they were out upon his arrival.

Damage was estimated at $1,001-$2,500.
