Driver hurt, kitty-cat extricated without a scratch… [HN PHOTOS]

WEST BARNSTABLE – A female driver was banged up and bloodied after her car slid off Route 6 eastbound, about a mile prior to Exit 5, shortly before 3am this morning.

Mass Highway was notified about the likelihood of black ice in the area…
