A Lakeside woman was injured in a Monday night wreck in south Douglas County.

A report from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at 10:00 p.m. the 75-year old was negotiating the turn at Bills Road and North Old Pacific Highway in the Myrtle Creek area. The driver went too wide and too fast for the wet roads and drove off the roadway and into a ditch. The woman had to be extracted from the vehicle due to being disabled and unable to get out on her own.

The report said no signs of impairment were observed. She was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center for back pain. The driver was treated and released according to a hospital spokesperson.

The vehicle was towed from the scene.
