An Ogdensburg woman was taken by helicopter to Upstate University hospital in Syracuse with head and neck injuries, after her car was struck from behind.

St. Lawrence County sheriff's deputies issued a report on the accident Saturday morning, and listed the accident as having occured early Saturday.

Deputies said MaryJo Montana, 48, of 815 Lake Street, was turning off county route 6 onto Simms Camp Road in the Town of Oswegatchie when a vehicle driven by Lloyd V. Lennox, 53 Tallman Road, Ogdensurg, struck her from behind.

The Montana vehicle spun around and went off the road - Montana was sent to Upstate, and a passenger in her vehicle, Darin A. King, 51, of Simms Camp Road, was taken to Claxton-Hepburn Hospital with neck pains. So was Lennox, who was charged with driving while intoxicated and following too close.
