HANSBORO, East Deschire -- Former Federal Sen. Nancy Lindselli was injured in an auto accident Monday morning.
Begoran County Emergency Dispatch confirmed Lindselli, 76, was injured in a single-car roll-over accident in rural northwest Begoran County around 10 am Monday.
Lindselli was heading westbound on Honey Hill Road en route to visit her colleague, former Federal Sen. Roger Gzarno, who resides in the small town of Gansberg in neighboring Firmont County, about two hours away from Lindselli's home in southern Begoran County.
Police say Lindselli struck a patch of ice, which caused her 2013 Ford Escape SUV to lose control and careen down a wooded embankment.
Lindselli was stuck inside the vehicle. A woman walking her dog down the road noticed the incapacitated vehicle over the embankment and called 911.
Emergency crews from Begoran County responded, while Firmont County deputies assisted the call.
Lindselli had to be extricated from the vehicle. She was transported to the nearby Johnsville Community Hospital, and then air-lifted to Benevolence Hospital in Hansboro.
She was listed in serious but stable condition as of Tuesday afternoon. Doctors are optimistic she will recover.
Lindselli's daughter, Lacey Almira, told the media the family is grateful for prayers and support from the community.
"We are so grateful my mother is alive and in stable condition. We are so thankful to the person who called for help and to the emergency personnel who responded to her accident. We're also grateful to her doctors and nurses that are working with her. And to all of the community members who have been praying for her and thinking of her. It is really encouraging and gives my mother strength," the younger Lindselli said in an interview with local media.
Former Sen. Roger Gzarno also said in a statement he is "deeply concerned" about the injuries Lindselli sustained, but is glad she is okay.
The two former senators had planned to meet for lunch Monday to catch up, which was the purpose of their meeting.
"I'm so sorry to hear my friend Nancy was injured in an accident. I feel bad that it happened while she was on her way to see me," said Gzarno to Hansboro Local 6 News. "I visited her at the hospital and she is in good spirits and I know she will make a full recovery."
As for their lunch, they'll have to reschedule, said Gzarno.
"When she's all healed up, we'll have to lunch again. Maybe I'll drive to her house this time instead," he joked.
