A Putnam County woman was seriously injured in a Monday one-car accident.

Indiana State Police troopers from the Indiana State Police Putnamville Post and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department responded to the single vehicle crash on County Road 650 West near US 40.

The preliminary crash investigation revealed that Sharon Brown, 78, of Reelsville, was driving a 2012 Mazda on County Road 650 West and was southbound near US 40.  For an unknown reason, Brown lost control of her vehicle and struck a concrete bridge, causing her vehicle to rollover and come to a stop on its roof. Due to Brown not wearing her seat belt, the force of the collision pinned her between the steering wheel and windshield. 

Brown was transported to a hospital in Indianapolis via Lifeline for a complaint of pain throughout her entire body.

Brown was cited for no seatbelt.
