Crash closes road for eight hours
BLAKELY - Emergency responders took a Scott Twp. woman to the hospital for minor injuries after crashing her car into a utility pole and closing a section of Scott Road for eight hours while crews installed a new one.
A crying Tammy Oleary, 46, reached down for a tissue from her purse when her car swerved to the right and hit gravel in front of 50 Scott Road, Blakely Police Chief Guy Salerno said. She overcompensated and ran across the road and took out the pole.
Chief Salerno said she suffered minor injuries and was taken to Mid-Valley Hospital. Information on her condition was not immediately available. Her car sustained heavy damage.
