WHITE CO.— Authorities have confirmed they have rescued a Carmi woman who they believe may have fallen at the city dam last night.
“It appears she may have been there all night,” said Sheriff Doug Maier.
Maier said a call had come in to the sheriff’s department last night but nothing was located.
“We are not sure if that call is connected to this case or not,” the sheriff said.

The sheriff said Chitwood may have been suffering from a broken hip.
“She was LifeFlighted out to an area hospital,” Maier said. “He injuries do not appear to be life threatening.”
