An early morning crash resulted in one local woman being sent to the hospital after her vehicle overturned on Brownsville Road, (KY HWY 259).

Emergency responders were dispatched to the 8400 block of Brownsville Road Friday, August 10th, around 6am where a 2006 Ponitac Vibe had overturned in a ditch.

According to Sheriff Shane Doyle, the vehicle, which was driven by Christine Gipson, (49) of Bee Spring, went off the right shoulder of the road as she was headed north. Doyle said that according to evidence at the scene, she apparently over corrected, which then caused the vehicle to exit the left side of the road. The vehicle traveled into a ditch, overturned completely, then rotated another half turn as the vehicle came to a final rest on its top.

Mrs. Gipson was transported to Greenview Hospital for possible neck and back injuries.

Sheriff Doyle said she was wearing her seat belt and air bags were deployed during the crash. 

Also responding were the Rocky Hill and Brownsville Fire Departments, along with Edmonson County JAWS, District 3 Constable, and Edmonson EMS.
