 A Newtown Square girl was rescued, 2 p.m., Jan. 24, after her SUV traveled into the ravine in the 300 block of North Malin Road, said Marple Police.
The 18-year-old, operating a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder, was driving in the 100 block of the street when the vehicle failed to negotiate a curve in the road. The SUV continued across the front yards of two homes in the block, then proceeded onto the front lawn of a residence in the 300 block, damaging a portion of a post and rail fence before sliding into the ditch, according to the report.
Members of the Broomall Fire Co. needed to brace the vehicle before removing the lone occupant. The volunteers utilized a rescue jack on the down side of the Pathfinder to provide some stabilization and secured the top end with a winch attached to the rescue truck parked in the driveway.
The girl, who injured her back, was safely removed from the SUV and taken to Bryn Mawr Hospital by the Marple Ambulance Corps, said police.
