Car crashed over steep hillside to right of picture, along State Route 16
Workers had to stabilize car from going down
steep hillside, before driver could be removed
A female driver was pulled through the windshield of her wrecked vehicle which was resting precariously beneath the road bank just north of Jackson Hill along Rt. 16.
Grantsville Fire Chief Dave Johnson said "It was straight down on the lower side of the vehicle," which had to be stabilized with cables and chains before the woman could be removed.
The vehicle, which appeared to be traveling north on Rt. 16, came to a stop against some trees.
The victim, described in her 20s, reportedly suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center by Calhoun EMS.
911 received the call about 7:30 p.m.
The Grantsville VFD sent several units to the scene. The accident is being investigated by Cpl. Doug Starcher.
State Police responded to an abandoned car, a 1990 Pontiac, discovered over the hill on Rt. 16 near the mouth of Crummies Creek at 6:20 p.m. The auto reportedly belonged to Gary McCumbers, who said it had been stolen over the weekend.
