Speed appears to be a factor in a crash that injured a Stevensville woman.

Cass County Sheriff’s deputies were called around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 12, to M-60, south of Yankee Street, in Howard Township.

The initial investigation shows the 25-year-old Stevensville woman was traveling eastbound and swerved to miss a vehicle that was stopped in the roadway.

The woman ran off the road, down a hill, crashed through a fence and rolled until it came to rest on its side, in the field. The woman was initially trapped inside of her vehicle until she was removed by medics.

She was was taken to Lakeland Niles Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
