A Casey woman was injured Monday afternoon in a rain-aided crash in Fayette County.

State police report 56-year-old Melanie Brandenburg was traveling eastbound on I-70 between St. Elmo and Altamont at 2:23pm during a heavy rainstorm. Brandenburg lost control of her vehicle, which slid off the roadway and into the center median.

Brandenburg was transported by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment of what were termed non-life threatening injuries.

Police say only one eastbound lane was partially blocked during the crash investigation and scene cleanup. 

Brandenburg was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
