A Jackson County woman was flown to an Indianapolis hospital early Saturday morning after she was involved in a one-vehicle crash east of Brownstown.

Heather V. Howard of Norman had to be cut from the 2012 Chevrolet passenger car she was driving when the wreck occurred in the 2200 block of U.S. 50 East, according to Jackson County Officer Mark Holt’s report.

Holt said when he arrived at the scene, he found Howard pinned to the roof of her vehicle, which was wrapped around a tree in a yard on the east side of U.S. 50.

Brownstown firefighters had to use a hydraulic apparatus used to pry apart wreckage on the driver’s side of the vehicle to get Howard out of the car, Holt said.

Howard had been driving west at the time of the wreck, Holt said.

He said Howard’s vehicle crossed the center line, hit a utility pole, turned onto the driver’s side, went through a yard and hit the tree.

She was treated at the scene by personnel with Jackson County Emergency Medical Services and flown from the scene by StatFlight to a hospital in Indianapolis. Her condition was not available Saturday afternoon.

Holt was assisted by Seymour officers Michael Payne and Devlin McMindes and county reserve officers Eric Browalski and Kevin Settle.

The cause of the wreck, reported at 2:17 a.m. Saturday, remains under investigation.
