The 31-year old Big Rapids woman lost control of her vehicle, went off the road and rolled down an embankment into a patch of trees.

 

She was taken to a local hospital for non life threatening injuries.

 

 

Meanwhile a 39-year old man suffered a broken leg and other injuries after an ATV accident Sunday evening in Mecosta County's Chippewa Township.

 

Deputies say it happened on 22 Mile Rd. that's where a 39-year old man was operating and fell off an ATV.

 

He sustained a fractured leg and other possible injuries.

 

He was taken to Spectrum Butterworth  Hospital in Grand Rapids.
