A Coquille woman was taken to the hospital following a single vehicle wreck Monday morning.

An Oregon State Police report said just after 5;00 a.m. troopers were dispatched to Highway 42 in the Tenmile area for a minor accident. The 36-year-old driver said she was traveling at 50 miles per hour when she swerved to miss a deer that had jumped into the roadway. The woman claimed she lost control of her vehicle, which crashed into a ditch causing heavy damage.

The woman was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center for minor injuries. She was listed in stable condition at last check, according to a hospital spokesperson. The vehicle was towed from the accident scene.
