Woman Ticketed In Rt. 28 Crash
That Blocked Rush-Hour Traffic
COOPERSTOWN – A Cherry Valley woman was ticketed with following too closely after crashing into a vehicle on Route 28 and veering off the road at 4:30 p.m. last Friday. The accident blocked rush-hour traffic both ways for a half-hour.
According the the accident report from the county Sheriff’s Department, Jane Duel, Cooperstown, was stopped in the northbound lane of Route 28 with her left blinker on, waiting to for traffic to clear so she could turn into her driveway.
Anna Vanderkrake was also driving in the northbound lane and looked down momentarily; when she looked up, she was unable to avoid hitting Duel’s vehicle, the accident report said.
The impact of the crash sent Vanderkrake’s vehicle off the east side of the road, up against a fence that demarcates Clark property. Duel’s car veered to the left into the shoulder.
Vanderkdrake was transported to Bassett Hospital with minor injuries, and ticketed for following too closely.
Should correct that Vanderkrake was ticketed not Duel.
