MCGRAW — An Oxford woman and the child in her vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries Thursday after she crashed into a concrete retaining wall, overturned her vehicle and became trapped inside.
Rebecca Meek, 52, of McCall Road, was driving west on West Main Street in McGraw when she lost control, according to the Cortland County Sheriff’s Office.
