Eddyville woman seriously injured in rollover crash

An Eddyville woman was flown to an Evansville hospital following a single-vehicle rollover accident Sunday evening in Caldwell County.

It happened about 5:30 p.m. and the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office says 43-year old Melissa Pederson of Eddyville swerved to miss a deer in the 2000 block of Archie Ortt Road, went off the road, over-corrected causing her pickup to overturn onto its top.

Pederson was taken by EMS to Caldwell County Hospital and then flown by Air Evac to a hospital in Evansville.
