US woman rescued from pickup stuck in tree top

RESCUE crews had to use ropes and ladders to retrieve a woman from her pickup truck after it ran off a road and landed in tree tops about nine meters above ground in a ravine.

Police say they'll be citing 33-year-old Dana Bowser for driving too fast for conditions on Route 68 near Evans City in western Pennsylvania. That's about 40 kilometers north of Pittsburgh.

State police say Bowser lost control near a culvert that carries the highway over Connoquenessing Creek. Police say Bowser told them the road was icy.

Rescue workers say Bowser was conscious and able to communicate with workers. Most importantly, they say she didn't panic as they worked to reach her in the precarious position.

She was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.
