(Westville, IN) - A Westville woman is back home after taken by a medical helicopter with injuries originally believed to be from a motor vehicle striking her on foot.  

As it turned out, the investigation revealed no evidence of a vehicle involved and her not so serious injuries resulted apparently from falling.

Police also said alcohol was a factor.

According to police, the 62 year old woman last week was walking home from the Westville American Legion Post 21.  She was found next to the roadway by someone at Prairie Meadow Park, who called 911 reporting a woman hit by a motor vehicle.

Police said she was flown to a regional hospital out of precaution with hip and elbow injuries.

According to police, the woman later told investigators she believes a gust of wind created by a passing vehicle knocked her over, instead.   

Police said her injuries were consistent with what usually results from a fall.
