A woman was injured after a vehicle hit a deer on Sunday.

A report from Oregon State Police said the 66-year old woman was traveling westbound on Highway 138W, three miles from Elkton, when she tried to avoid a deer that was in the roadway. The vehicle went off the roadway into a gravel ditch, losing control and crashing into an earthen embankment and coming to rest facing eastbound on the westbound shoulder.

The woman was transported via ambulance to CHI Mercy Medical Center. She was treated and released, according to a hospital spokesperson. The vehicle was towed from the scene.
