Judy L. Washburn, 65, of Springfield, was transported to Flaget Memorial Hospital by Washington County EMS after overturning her vehicle last Monday afternoon.

Washburn was traveling north on Bloomfield Road around 5 p.m., when she lost control of her Jeep Liberty, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

The report states that the driver traveled across the oncoming lane of traffic and left the roadway before going through a wire fence line. The vehicle then overturned, before coming to rest on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

The Washington County School Board has finalized changes to the remaining schedule for the 2013-14 school year, barring any more missed days due to weather.

The final day of the school year for students, as of now, would be Friday, May 30.
