Hydroplaning is being blamed for a single vehicle, non-injury accident Tuesday morning, in Red Oak. Red Oak Police say a 2000 Lincoln Town Car driven by 84-year-old Cleo Charlotte Royer of Essex, was traveling north on West Washington Avenue at around 9:15-a.m., when was crossing a bridge and encountered pooled water that caused the car to hydroplane and exit the roadway to the right.  The vehicle hit a street sign and continued through a yard and into a nearby parking lot before coming to rest. Damage from the crash amounted to $7,550.
