A woman was transported by helicopter to Enloe Medical Center after rolling her car early Friday afternoon.

At about 1:39 p.m. on Nov. 26, evidence at the scene indicates that the woman, whose name, age, and city of residence are not known to The Observer, was driving a Chevy Sonic east on County Road 30, east of County Road M.

For a reason presently unknown, the car traveled off the north side of Road 30, through a wire fence, and rolled over in field.

The Chevy came to rest on its roof, about 20 feet from the north edge of the roadway.

It is not known if the driver was wearing her seatbelts at the time of the accident, but it could be seen that her airbags deployed.

The Enloe FlightCare helicopter landed in a field on the south side of Road 30.

The driver of the Sonic was first treated in a ground ambulance that was parked in the middle of the road, then was transported the short distance to the waiting helicopter.

The Chevy Sonic was flipped over onto its wheels and towed from the scene by Bambauer Towing.
