A Columbus woman was flown to an Indianapolis hospital after a Monday afternoon crash. Judy Jackson, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman, says that just after 2 p.m. deputies responded to a one-vehicle crash on County Road 650 East, just south of 25th Street.

Investigators say that the driver, Mary V. Swinney, drove off the east side of the roadway on County Road 650 East, hitting two mailboxes before striking a large tree. They add that Swinney wasn’t wearing a seat-belt, resulting in her being thrown into the passenger’s seat.
