A vehicle-related wreck on Saturday evening resulted in injuries for a Missouri woman after she made an evasive maneuver that led to a collision with a bridge rail.
A 60-year-old female of Florissant, Missouri, was driving eastbound on I-70 at approximately 5:33 p.m. going about 75 mph, when she reported that another vehicle swerved into her lane, prompting her to take evasive action.
She swerved left, striking the bridge rail on a bridge near the Solomon rest area.
According to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, she complained of leg pain and was transported to Salina Regional Hospital by EMS. Her vehicle sustained substantial damage to the driver's side.
The Nissan had two passengers: a 58-year-old male in the front seat and a 27-year-old female in the back seat.
The other vehicle involved in the incident was not identified and did not make contact with the Nissan.
"She just took an avoidance maneuver and hit the bridge," said Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan. "The other vehicle kept going and may not have known even if it happened."
