Route 101 Rollover Was a Close Call

A driver and her young passengers were lucky to receive only minor injuries after a rollover on Route 101 in Amherst on Wednesday.

Amherst Lt. Anthony E. Ciampoli said Delandra Williams of Auburn was driving her 2002 Mercury Mountaineer around 1:06 p.m. when she attempted to merge onto Route 101.

She went a little too far left, almost hitting the mile marker, and flipped her vehicle after overcorrecting to the right.

Ciampoli said that Williams and the four children in the car were lucky to escape the crash with only minor injuries. They only received minor cuts from broken shards of glass.
