FULTON COUNTY - Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors in a Saturday afternoon crash in Fulton County that injured a Rochester woman.
On Saturday at approximately 3:17 p.m., emergency personnel were dispatched to area of CR 50N and CR 200W for a single-vehicle crash with personal injury. When deputies arrived, they observed a single vehicle off the east side of the road, according to a news release Monday from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
Preliminary investigation by FCSO deputy Ryan Utter revealed a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, driven by Kyla Ellinger, 23, Rochester, was traveling south on CR 200W, when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle exited the east side of the road, striking a communication box. The vehicle then rolled several times and Ellinger was ejected during the crash. She was the sole occupant of the vehicle and treated by emergency personnel on scene before being flown by Lutheran Air to a trauma center.
Ellinger's condition was unknown as of the news release Monday.
She was not wearing her seatbelt at the time of crash and speed and alcohol are suspected factors in the crash.
Assisting the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office at the scene were the Rochester Fire Department, and Lutheran EMS and Air.
