Anna Bulman, 16, of Caledonia sustained only minor injuries when the vehicle she was driving overturned down an embankment.

The single vehicle accident occurred Sunday, July 14, at 10:29 a.m. when Bulman was traveling southeast on CSAH 5. According to the accident report, the roadway is made of crushed rock. When driving around a corner, Bulman lost control of the vehicle and skidded around the corner. When she over corrected the steering, the vehicle went over a steep embankment on the left side and overturned in the ditch. Bulman suffered small lacerations to her leg due to the glass windows breaking.

Also in the vehicle, but not suffering any injuries were Thomas Bulman, 9, and Paul Bulman, 14.

Everyone was wearing a seat belt.
