A woman was rescued from her car early Saturday morning after a wreck on West Church Avenue in Medina that fire department officials called a "freak accident."

Medina Fire Chief Jeff Rollins said the woman apparently drove her car up the set of wires.

"She ran up the guy-wire on the pole in a freak accident, and the car spun around the pole," Rollins said.

Medina police said Saturday that the woman's car went off the road, hit a fence, and drove down the fence until the car reached the wires. Police said the car went up the wires, and a horizontal guy-wire wrapped around a tire, leaving the car suspended.

"She couldn't get down," Rollins said.

Police said speed was likely a factor. The posted speed limit on West Church Avenue is 30 miles per hour.

There was no indication of drugs, alcohol, distraction, or a medical condition that Medina police were made aware of by Saturday.

The woman was trapped inside the car, while crews attempted to support the utility pole. Fire department crews used a bucket truck to reach the passenger door of the car shortly after 1 a.m. and broke windows to help the woman out of the car.

After being stuck in the car for almost two hours, the woman was taken out of the car around 1:30 a.m.

Rollins said she did not have any serious injuries, but was taken by ambulance to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital for treatment.

"The main thing was to get the power lines secured and to get her out of there," Rollins said. "We got a bucket truck from the power company to get up and get her out of there. That was our main concern — getting her free."

The car was later lowered to the ground and loaded onto a flatbed truck to be taken from the scene.

Rollins said the wreck was the first of its kind he had seen in more than 30 years with the fire department.

"I've been doing this for 38 years, and I've never seen this before," he said.

Police said the woman has been released from the hospital. She is not being identified at this time.
