A woman escaped with minor injuries Friday when her electric wheelchair fell off the Heritage Trail next to Lacamas Lake in Camas.

She had been traveling around noon along the trail on the south shore of the lake when she went over an embankment and fell about 15 feet onto the lake bed, according to Camas-Washougal fire Chief Nick Swinhart. The woman’s name was not released.
