Cook County Law Enforcement received a call at 5:33 p.m. on July 8 reporting a car in the ditch just below the water tower in Grand Marais. Janet Gambell, 80, of Chanhassen lost control on the corner below the water tower and went into the creek bed next to the road. Her 2008 Honda Civic traveled the ditch for about 400 feet before coming to an abrupt stop.
Sheriff deputies, the Grand Marais Fire Department and the Cook County Ambulance responded and Gambell was transported to Cook County North Shore Hospital suffering back pain.
Gambell told some Good Samaritans who stopped to help that she was probably driving too fast and the corner came up suddenly.
No citation was issued.
