Farmington woman's injuries 'appear to be minor.'
Canton police are investigating a one-car accident in Collinsville Monday evening.
Shortly after 7 p.m., Hope Sheridan, 67, of Farmington, crashed her Hyundai into a retaining wall at the corner of Bridge and Center Streets in Collinsville.
She was injured and transported to St. Francis Hospital but police believe she will be OK.
"It appears to be minor in nature," said Police Capt. Lawrence Terra.
St. Francis does not give out the status of its patients.
