Harrison County-Around 12:45 am this morning, a maroon 2000 Ford Ranger was west bound on Interstate #64 at the 107 Mile Marker in Harrison County. As the Ford Ranger was travelling west bound being driven by, Diana Sue Watson, 41, from Mifflin West Fork Road in English, IN, it veered off of the roadway into the median.  It appears Diane Sue Watson over-corrected the Ford Ranger, travelling back across Interstate #64 and going off the west side of the roadway striking a rock wall.
