Woman Rescued from Elevator at Indiana Power Station

  CAYUGA, Ind. (AP) _ Western Indiana police say a woman was rescued after spending five hours trapped in an outside elevator high above a power station.
 
  Vermillion County Sheriff Bob Spence tells the Tribune-Star the woman was rescued about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday from a Duke Energy power station that's under construction in the town of Cayuga.
 
  He says a team from Sugar Creek Fire and Rescue pulled the woman from the stalled elevator to the roof of a building after she'd spent about five hours about 170 feet above the ground.
 
  Duke Energy spokeswoman Angeline Protegere says the woman is a contractor who was at the plant about 30 miles north of Terre Haute as part of its construction operations.
 
  Protegere says the woman was within the elevator's cage during her ordeal.
