Villenova rollover accident injures driver

VILLENOVA — A motorist, allegedly driving at an unsafe speed, was injured in a rollover accident this morning.

Chautauqua County sheriff’s deputies report the accident occurred around 11:40 a.m. with a female entrapped on Lovers Lane Road. Upon the deputy’s arrival, the vehicle was off of the road overturned resting on its driver’s side. Haley L. Watson, 21, of King Road, was observed to be in the driver’s seat pinned behind the steering wheel against the driver’s side window. The deputy was able to enter the overturned vehicle from a rear window that had been broken during the accident.

While inside the vehicle, the Deputy was able to assist Watson on freeing herself from the driver’s seat and exit the vehicle. Alstar arrived on scene and transported Watson to Lake Shore Hospital for minor injuries. Passenger Jordan M. McKay of Fluker Hill Road was medically cleared on scene.

It is alleged that Watson was eastbound on Lovers Lane Road traveling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions and subsequently lost control of her vehicle. The vehicle traveled off the road, striking a tree causing the vehicle to overturn. Watson was issued a ticket for speed not reasonable and prudent and will answer the charge in the town of Villenova at a later date.
