Canton Pike wreck injures local woman

A single-vehicle wreck on Canton Pike Friday morning injured a local woman.

The incident happened around 8am, according to the report from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, which says 20-year old Bertha Mariquez of Lafayette Road was westbound when she failed to negotiate a curve on wet pavement and ran off the road and overturned before coming to rest in the ditch.

Ms. Mariquez said the wreck occurred when she met a vehicle that was across the center line, causing her to hit her brakes and skid off the road. She was taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Centeer.
