A woman was transported to the hospital Tuesday after a rollover crash on Alabama St.
Officer Patrick Zeamer with the St. Joseph Police Department said a woman in her mid-60s reported having a medical condition and passed out behind the wheel while she was heading west on Alabama Street.
“We believe she might have passed out and had a medical condition. Went off the roadway, striking a light pole and a road sign, overturning her vehicle,” Zeamer said “The fire department arrived on scene without having to cut anything off the car. They were able to get her out through the windows on a backboard and take her out that way.”
Zeamer said the woman was conscious when authorities arrived. She was transported to Mosaic Life Care for evaluation of what was described as minor injuries. Zeamer said the crash is currently under investigation.
While crews were on scene the road was shut down briefly around 2:15 p.m. It has since reopened.
