Selected reports from the Bainbridge Island Police Department blotter.

MONDAY, APRIL 8

3:57 p.m. A 52-year-old Bainbridge woman drove off the road and rolled her car down an embankment while traveling southeast on Blakely Avenue, near Odd Fellows Road.

Responders helped pull the woman out of the overturned car and said she was clutching her cell phone. She had a cut on her forehead and left a trail of blood on the driver’s seat to the rear of the vehicle, where she’d crawled out through the hatch.

She said she had no other injuries.

Skid marks told police she’d been traveling on the wrong side of the road, started to brake, then served into the correct lane and across the shoulder, where she went off the embankment, struck a tree and flipped her car.

The woman was taken home by her husband. She said she had not been paying attention to her driving as she was distracted by thoughts of her recently deceased mother.

A tow was arranged for the car.

No citation was issued, as police noted the woman “was thoroughly educated on the merits of paying attention to the road when driving.”
