Yesterday evening at about 6:08 p.m., Wednesday, June 13, Saline County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a roll-over injury crash on U.S. 81 Highway just north of Interstate 70.
The 48-year-old resident was driving south on Highway 81 when, at milepost 159, the driver's side rear tire of the silver 2010 Toyota Corolla blew out.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said that once the tire blew, the driver lost control of the vehicle and entered the west ditch.
"She ended up going off from the ditch and rolling over," Soldan said. "She went off the west side of the road, rolled down back in there pretty good, with pretty good damage to the car."
Soldan said she was the only occupant of the Corolla and sustained bruises and scrapes from the car rolling multiple times.
When EMS services arrived, the woman refused treatment but later drove herself to a local care center to check her injuries.
