According to a press release from the Green County Sheriff’s Office, yesterday at about 10 p.m. Sheriff’s office deputies, the Albany Fire Department, and Albany EMS responded to the W1700 block of County Trunk Highway EE in the Town of Albany for a rollover crash with entrapment. Investigation determined that the operator, 45 year old Evansville woman Amanda J. Witte, was traveling east on County Trunk Highway EE when she failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway. Witte's truck exited the roadway into the east ditch and rolled once, coming to a rest on the driver's side door. Witte was able to exit the truck through the rear windshield with assistance from the Albany Fire Department. Witte reported wearing her seatbelt and sustained non-life threatening injuries that were evaluated by Albany EMS. She was not transported for her injuries. The truck sustained disabling damage, had side airbag deployment, and was towed from the scene. Witte was ultimately arrested for 1st offense OWI, and was cited for open intoxicants in a motor vehicle, failure to maintain control, and prohibited alcohol concentration. Witte was released to a responsible party pending a future court appearance.
