Police said they will be citing 33-year-old Dana Bowser for driving too fast for conditions on Route 68 near Evans City in western Pennsylvania, about 40km north of Pittsburgh.

State police said Bowser lost control on an icy road near a culvert that carries the highway over Connoquenessing Creek.

Rescue workers said Bowser was conscious and able to communicate with workers. Most importantly, she did not panic as they worked to reach her in the precarious position. She was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
