    Preston woman injured in crash on Route 214 in Ledyard Sunday

    Ledyard — A three-car crash sent one person to the hospital with a leg injury Sunday afternoon, according to Ledyard police.

    Police said Cheryl Macomber, of Preston, was driving westbound on Route 214 in Ledyard when her car, a Toyota Camry, crossed over into the eastbound lane and hit the front of a Volvo V70 driven by Paul Martineau of New London.

    Macomber’s car then collided with a third vehicle, a Honda CRV driven by Ramil Jacinto of Yonkers, N.Y., before stopping.

    Emergency responders found Macomber trapped in her car, and members of the Ledyard and Gales Ferry fire departments extricated her and took her to The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich with a leg injury.

    The drivers of the other cars declined medical treatment, police said. Police closed Route 214 for about an hour while the vehicles were removed, and police are investigating the cause of the accident.
