A 34-year-old woman was airlifted to South Bend Memorial Hospital early this morning after crashing her car into a tree and utility pole along Ind. 15 early this morning, March 1, 2013.
According to Elkhart County police, at 12:48 a.m., Billie Jo Star Rippey, 34, was driving north on Ind. 15 in a 2007 Dodge Caliber when it traveled off the right side of the road, south of C.R. 126.
