BETHEL — A local woman was hospitalized after her car flipped end over end and landed on its roof on Route 5 Thursday night.
Amanda Thompson of Bethel, who is in her early 20s, suffered cuts and bruises, and chest and neck pain, Patrolman George Gould of the Bethel Police Department said Friday. She was taken to Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway, where a spokesman said Friday that no information on her condition was available.
Thompson was driving north at about 8:40 p.m. in an older model Plymouth Neon when she lost control about near the intersection with Grover Hill and Mill Hill roads south of the village.
“It was due to speed,” Gould said. “She lost control on a corner.”
Gould said the vehicle flipped end over end and landed on its roof. The Bethel Fire Department had to cut the car to get her out. She was wearing a seat belt.
Bethel Rescue took Thompson to the hospital.
