Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Monday morning's single vehicle injury traffic crash along Highway 228 near Sweet Home. The involved vehicle crashed into a power pole resulting in an area power outage while repairs were made.
According to Trooper Casi Hegney-Bach, on February 6, 2012 at approximately 5:25 a.m. a 2003 Ford pickup driven by DENISE MITCHELL, age 43, from Vida, was westbound on Highway 228 near milepost 13 when it lost control on an icy corner. The pickup spun off the highway, rolled onto its top and struck a power pole. The pole broke and fell next to the pickup.
MITCHELL was able to exit the pickup and was later transported by ambulance to Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital with minor injury.
Pacific Power personnel responded to the scene and cut power while repairs are made.
