Covering coastal Douglas County:

A passenger was taken to a hospital after a single-vehicle wreck on Friday afternoon.

An Oregon State Police report said at 12:15 p.m. an eastbound compact station wagon was negotiating a curve on Highway 38 in the Loon Lake area when the driver failed to keep her vehicle in her lane. She apparently over corrected and drove onto the shoulder, with the vehicle perpendicular to the highway. The vehicle rolled and came to a rest on its top.

A juvenile passenger incurred minor injuries and was transported to Lower Umpqua Hospital with the driver. The vehicle was towed from the scene.
