A Shelbyville woman was flown by a medical helicopter to an Indianapolis hospital after suffering injuries in a single-vehicle crash in northeast Bartholomew County, police said.
Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies received a call about a personal-injury accident at County Road 500N east of County Road 900E, Hope, at 3:58 p.m. Monday. Deputy Andrew Whipker located a Kia SUV in a drainage ditch when he arrived, spokesman Judy Jackson said.
The SUV had been traveling west on 500N when it left the roadway and traveled about 100 feet northwest through a field before colliding with trees and a drainage ditch embankment.
The driver, 52-year-old Carolyn Logston, told deputies that something ran in front of her vehicle and caused her to leave the roadway.

She was transported by Columbus Regional Hospital EMS to Columbus Municipal Airport, where she was transferred aboard a LifeLine helicopter to Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
A hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday that Logston was in fair condition, and stable.
Bartholomew County Sheriff’s detective Terrance Holderness and Sgt. Jim Stevens assisted, as did Hope Police Department, Hope Fire Department, Hartsville Fire Department and Columbus Fire Department.
