FARMINGTON — A local woman suffered a medical emergency Thursday morning, causing the SUV she was driving to cross the centerline of Farmington Falls Road, go airborne and hit a tree.

The Jeep crossed the road, which is also U.S. Route 2/state Route 27, struck a snowbank and went airborne just before a driveway to 266 Farmington Falls. It hit hedges at 268 Farmington Falls Road before striking a tree at a third residence, he said.

Parker was assisted by Sgt. Ethan Boyd, Farmington Fire Rescue and NorthStar EMS ambulance personnel.
