OVER-CORRECTED —  This 1999 Ford Taurus, driven by Dorothy Brooks, 57, of Casco, rolled onto its roof at 3 p.m. on Route 121 in Otisfield, February 17, after the car's wheels caught slush on the side of the road and the driver over-corrected, reported Oxford County Sheriff Deputy Nate Bowie. According to Bowie, Brooks attempted to move over toward the side of the road when she saw an oncoming vehicle, but instead caught slush which caused her vehicle to hit a tree then roll over. According to reports, Brooks was transported to Stephens Memorial Hospital in Norway for possible neck injuries.
