A woman was taken to the hospital after a single vehicle wreck Monday night.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said at 10:15 p.m. the 18-year old was eastbound in the 4000 block of Melrose Road, when she swerved her vehicle to avoid a deer. The sedan left the road and rolled into a large ditch full of blackberries. The woman did not have any apparent injuries but was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center as a precaution. She was treated and released according to a hospital spokesperson.

There were no other occupants and no signs of impairments. The sedan was towed from the scene.
