Speeding Car Hits Bridge Barrier
A Brocton woman is facing charges after her car slammed into a bridge barrier early Sunday morning in the Town of Portland.
19-year-old Ashley Barrett was allegedly speeding on Route 5 when her car went out of control and slammed into the bridge, causing heavy damage to the bridge and her car.
Sheriff’s deputies say an off-duty Dunkirk Police officer discovered the crash and found Barrett slumped over the wheel. She was taken to Brooks Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Deputies say that at the hospital she refused to cooperate with the investigation and refused a blood test. She’s charged with driving while intoxicated and driving at an unreasonable speed, and more charges are pending.
