Early Monday morning, a New Cambria resident driving eastbound on East Old 40 Highway just west of Solomon swerved on the road to dodge a deer but lost control, toppling the car into the ditch.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said that at about 5:33 a.m., a 29-year-old New Cambria resident missed the deer but suffered several injuries from the subsequent crash.

"He swerved to miss the deer, went off the south side of the road and then overcorrected, went across the road in the north ditch where it rolled at least once," Soldan said. "[The 2001 Chevrolet Suburban] came to a rest on its wheels."

Soldan said once Saline County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived, EMS followed shortly after and transported the 29-year-old driver to Salina Regional Health Center for undocumented injuries.

The resident crashed in the 9600 block of East Old 40 Highway near 40 Highway and North Donmeyer Road.
