VILLENOVA – The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office was called to Flucker Hill Road in the town of Villenova early this morning for a report of an accident with injury.

Deputies arrived on the scene around 12:45 a.m. and determined a vehicle driven by Ashley L. Knopf, 30, of Dayton, was traveling at a high rate of speed when it left the roadway, became airborne and struck a tree and a utility pole.

Knopf was transported to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries. It was later found that she was intoxicated at the time of the accident.

She was charged with speed not reasonable and prudent and driving while intoxicated. Knopf will appear in Villenova Town Court at a later date.
