A driver from Wyoming County was injured Monday morning after her car slid off the roadway on Bethany Center Road near Paradise Road and struck a tree.

Karen J. Vanburen, 38, of Alwardt Road, Wyoming, was transported to UMMC with non-life threatening injuries.

That stretch of Bethany Center road can be treacherous. It's wide open and drifts terribly. Monday night there was a tree across Bethany Center rd near the Batavia Bethany TL Rd and I drove right through the end of it. Visibility was such that I didn't see the dark branches until it was too late. I had to wave down people going in the other direction because the south bound lane was completely obstructed.
