A 28-year-old Marceline woman sustained minor injuries Friday evening after she was involved in a single-vehicle accident in Ralls County. Amy L. Cash, 28 of Marceline, was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier eastbound on U.S. Highway 136, two miles west of Luray, at 7:45 p.m. Friday when she lost control on the snow-covered roadway. The Chevrolet traveled off the right side of the roadway into a ditch. After spinning 180 degrees, the left side of the Chevrolet struck a tree and a fence before coming to rest in a ditch. Cash was taken to Keokuk Area Hospital with minor injuries. Troopers Hillyer and Davidson investigated the accident.
