A Princeton woman was taken to the hospital after a single-vehicle wreck on Interstate 69 Monday morning.
Caldwell County Sheriff Chris Noel reports deputies responded to the wreck at the 81-mile marker shortly after 11:45 a.m. Sheriff Noel says his investigation determined 68-year old Rebecca Merrick was traveling north on I-69 when she attempted to exit the interstate and, for an unknown reason, she lost control of her pickup truck and ran off the left side of the off-ramp. He says Merrick overcorrected, causing the truck to hit an embankment on the right side.
Merrick was transported by Caldwell EMS to Caldwell County Hospital for what Noel said were non-threatening injuries.
Sheriff Noel was assisted on the scene by Caldwell County Fire/Rescue, Caldwell EMS and Deputy Steve Ladd.
