A Monticello woman was injured in a Saturday afternoon crash in Forest City Township in neighboring Meeker County.
The Meeker County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the 64900 block of 309th Street in Forest City Township for a report of a vehicle that collided with some large wooden poles and the entrance gate of the Forest City Stockade. Authorities say that the driver was unable to make the curve and left the roadway.
The driver of the vehicle, 75-year-old Jane Kelm of Monticello, was taken to Meeker Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff’s office claims in their preliminary report that the driver’s speed and unfamiliarity with the area may have been factors in the 3:45 PM crash.
