Woman Suffers Minor Injuries After Vehicle Goes In Ditch

A 67-year-old woman has been taken to the South Shore Regional Hospital after her car went off the road in Northfield. RCMP say the incident occurred near the intersection of Penny and Northfield Roads just before 10:30 this morning. Corporal Jamie Vacon says the woman didn't make a proper turn and went into the ditch. He says the local fire department had to remove the woman from the car with the jaws of life. The road was closed down for over an hour because of the incident. The woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
