HELVETIA The Randolph County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that a 36-year-old Helvetia woman lost her life after a single- vehicle accident Sunday evening.
At approximately 5:19 p.m., Corporal Seth Kyle and Deputy Roger Foster of the Randolph County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched to a one-vehicle crash in Helvetia.
Once on the scene, law enforcement found a 2011 Toyota Rav 4 over an embankment. The vehicle had apparently lost control and drove off the left side of the roadway edge before striking a large tree, officials said.
The driver was extricated from the wreckage by fire units and was later pronounced dead. Her two small children, ages 3 and 5, were also in the vehicle in car seats and suffered only minor injuries.
