By Howard B. Owens

A 55-year-old woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle accident Sept. 30 has died.

Patty Ireland, of Bergen, succumbed to her injuries last night, WBTA reported this morning.

The mother of three adult children was driving on Route 19 when a truck carrying gravel was involved in a collision with another vehicle. The truck overturned in her path, spilling stone and gravel on the roadway, pushing Ireland's Chevy Impala 150 feet back down the roadway. 

Services have not yet been announced.

This is so sad to hear. What an awful ordeal this family has gone through. I was so hopeful that the outcome would not be like this. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Irelands. It sounded like she was a very special lady & will certainly be missed by all who's lives she touched.
