(La Porte County, IN) - A woman suffered only minor injuries when her vehicle wound up on its side on U.S. 421 near LaCrosse early Sunday.

 

According to La Porte County Police, the driver, Summer Sobczak, told investigators she lost control of her vehicle while reaching for something she dropped on the floorboard.

 

Her 2007 Honda Civic traveled more than 200 feet in a ditch before returning to the pavement and flipping onto the driver’s side at 1800 South. Emergency responded helped the Portage woman out of the vehicle.

 

She complained of pain to the rib cage area along with a headache but declined medical attention.

 

According to police, she told investigators she was returning from a party where she consumed just a couple of mixed drinks.  She was not arrested because her blood alcohol level was below the .08 percent legal limit, police said.
