A 56-year-old woman from Culver received medical attention after a Wednesday rollover crash involving a deer on Hedville Road in Saline County.

According to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, the woman was driving southbound on Hedville Road at around 7:45 a.m. when a deer entered the roadway. She swerved to avoid the animal, causing her vehicle to roll off the west side of the road. The car was then impaled by a fence post, briefly trapping the woman inside.

Soldan said Saline County EMS arrived quickly on the scene and transported the woman to the Salina Regional Health Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Kansas Highway Patrol and Saline County Sheriff's Office remind motorists to stay safe on the roads. Drivers are urged to be extra alert at dawn and dusk, when deer are most active. If you see one deer, expect others, as they often travel in groups. Reduce speed and be vigilant near wooded areas, parks, golf courses, and water sources. Deer crossing signs indicate areas with high rates of vehicle-deer collisions, so extra caution is advised in those areas.
