A Medford woman was hospitalized following a one-car wreck Monday night two miles north and one mile east of Medford on a Grant County road.
Megan L. Wilson, 19, of Medford, was driving a Ford Ranger pickup about 7:45 p.m. when she swerved to miss several deer that crossed the road in front of her. She struck a bridge railing on the south side of the roadway and spun around, rolling one complete time, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
She was transported to Integris Bass Baptist Hospital in Enid with head and arm injuries.
Two passengers, Sheree M. Wilson, 24, of Medford and Blaklie M. Wilson, 4, of Medford, were also transported to the hospital, but later released. Both passengers were ejected from the vehicle.
According to the OHP report, seatbelts were not in use at the time, and a child restraint was also not equipped or in use by the 4-year-old.
