Sault Ste Marie OPP investigated a single vehicle rollover crash that occurred on Hwy # 552 w Goulais Township Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. The Dodge Dakota Pickup entered standing water on the roadway, lost control and struck the snow bank and rolled over. The 45 year old Lady from Goulais River was treated and released from Sault and Area Hospital. Police are advising all motorists to expect changing road conditions as spring approaches. These conditions could include standing water and black ice on the road surface. The key to prevent most crashes is moderate speed. In February 22 of 26 crashes investigated by Sault Ste Marie OPP was a direct result of drivers driving too fast for the road conditions.
