EVANS CITY, Pa. -- Rescue crews had to use ropes and ladders to retrieve a western Pennsylvania woman from her pickup truck after it ran off a road and landed in tree tops about 30 feet above ground in a ravine.
Police say they'll be citing 33-year-old Erin Dawn Bowser for driving too fast for conditions on Route 68 near Evans City.
State police say Bowser lost control near a culvert that carries the highway over Connoquenessing Creek. Police say Bowser told them the road was icy at the time.
Rescue workers say Bowser was conscious and able to communicate with workers. Most importantly, they say she didn't panic as they worked to reach her in the precarious position.
She was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
