A Salina woman was injured Tuesday night after she swerved to avoid hitting a deer and rolled her vehicle.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Alexandra Valdez, 20, of Salina, was westbound on Magnolia Road just east of Whitmore Road in a 2009 Jeep Patriot when she swerved to avoid a deer in the roadway shortly before midnight. The Jeep went into the north ditch, rolled and came to rest on its top, Soldan said.
Valdez was trapped in the vehicle and had to be cut out by the Salina Fire Department rescue squad, he said. She was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center with unknown injuries, he said.
