Princeton Woman Hospitalized After Hazardous Conditions Lead to One-Car Crash

The season’s first snow-related accident resulted in a 56-year-old Princeton woman being hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

Abbie M. Farrow was driving her 1997 Ford Expedition north on Mercer Street near Hale Drive when she skid off the road and hit a large uprooted tree with its front end just before 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

She was extricated through the driver’s side front and rear doors, police said. She suffered upper and lower body injuries, and was transported by Princeton First Aid and Rescue to the University Medical Center at Plainboro.

Farrow’s Ford sustained extensive front end damage and was towed by Quick Response towing out of Hillsborough.

Mercer Street was closed for about an hour during the investigation and was reopened at 2:15 p.m.

The accident is still under investigation and no summonses have been issued.
