NORWICH – Tuesday morning the Norwich Fire Department responded to a parking lot mishap which resulted in an elderly woman being taken to the hospital.

Ruth Matteson was taken to Chenango Memorial Hospital for minor injuries. Matteson was going to leave the Eckerd parking lot, but apparently put her black Subaru Legacy into drive rather than reverse. The car lurched forward over a curb through some light shrubbery and then collided with a brick wall about two feet high with a metal fence running across the top of it.
