Motorist crashes car into creek off Lakeshore Drive

A Hot Springs woman suffered minor injuries after she lost control of her vehicle and drove into Stokes Creek off Lakeshore Drive Thursday evening.

Lauren Whitley-Boyd, 33, driving a silver 2005 Chrysler 300, was southbound on Lakeshore shortly before 6:30 p.m. when she reportedly swerved to the left to avoid an oncoming vehicle near the intersection with McLeod Street and drove off the roadway, Hot Springs police Officer 1st Class Joey Williams said Friday.

Her car traveled about 50 feet down an embankment and came to rest in a creek at the bottom, he said. Whitley-Boyd sustained some minor injuries and was transported by LifeNet to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs.
