On Monday, Aug. 20, at 11:26 p.m., the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department received a report that a vehicle was found down an embankment off North Buck Creek Road, east of Cemetery Road, in Freeman Township. 

Lila Tully, 17, Genoa, was operating a 2002 Chevy Caviler west on the road when she lost control on the right shoulder and crossed the center line. The vehicle slid sideways across the road for about 25 yards, left the roadway on the south side, rolled over and struck two trees before coming to a rest on its passenger side, with the top against the trees. Tully was trapped in the vehicle and was able to kick out the windshield and walk to a residence for help, after calling 911. 

The vehicle was totaled. Tully was transported by ambulance for injuries. She is expected to make a full recovery. The crash remains under investigation.

Assisting at the scene were the Ferryville First Responders, Ferryville Fire Department, Ocooch Mountain Rescue and Sleepy Hollow Towing.
