A Roseburg woman was hurt when her vehicle hit a power pole on Wednesday night.
A report from the Roseburg Police said at about 6:20 p.m. officers responded to the accident at the corner of Diamond Lake Boulevard and Patterson.
The report said the 57-year old woman was driving westbound. She told an officer she was very sleepy and must have lost control when she reached down to get a cigarette. The car veered across the roadway before hitting the pole. She was taken to Mercy Medical Center with minor injuries.
The driver was cited for careless driving. The vehicle had to be towed from the scene.
