A driver lost control of her Honda Civic on a sharp curve and a small patch of ice heading south on Hattertown Road Sunday morning, leading to a rollover crash in which her car struck a tree.
Police said the rear-end of the car began to slide on the ice, when the driver over-corrected, causing the Honda to spinout of control and go off the road before the crash.
The driver, identified as Atanna Wiggins, 22, of Fern Lane Road in Newtown, had no injuries and was issued a verbal warning for failure to maintain her lane and traveling too fast for conditions, police said.
The crash occurred around 7 a.m.
