An elderly woman flipped her car on Memorial Day and was stuck upside down for nearly 30 minutes, before anyone knew she needed help. It happened on Buck Run Road in Woodford County.
“Bless her heart and I am glad she’s okay,” said Krissy Fraser. She lives on the road where Versailles police said the elderly woman was driving around a curve when she hit a tree, flipped, then was stuck upside down in her seat belt for around a half hour.
“My gosh. I wouldn’t want to be upside down for 30 minutes in a seat belt. That’s awful,” said Tom Brown. People who live in the area, like him, said the road isn’t busy. Therefore, it was a while before someone drove by and noticed the car.

A neighbor finally went by and called 911 for help. “Yay neighbors! We are good people down here,” said Fraser,
Police said there was concern that the car was close to the creek, so emergency crews rushed in, ready to rescue.
“All of the sudden there were ambulances, police officers, wreckers. Even a police officer with ATV’s,” said Fraser.
“I heard emergency vehicles and then a number of cars going by at high speed,” added Brown.
Police said they had to cut the woman’s seat belt and take her to UK Hospital as a precaution. Despite dementia, officers said the woman was perfectly fine. Neighbors said that’s a miracle considering the wreck, and the road.
“It’s really windy and curvy and narrow and if you don’t know it, it could be a little problematic,” said Fraser.
“It’s a rural road. It is twisty, it is a little narrow,” added Brown. Despite the obstacles of the road, people in the area said crashes are few and far between.
Now their thoughts are with this victim. “I hope she gets well and has safe travels from here on out,” said Fraser.
