A Morton woman was taken to the hospital with a head injury after a single-vehicle crash in the Cinebar area overnight.

A trooper was called just after 1 a.m. to milepost 14.7 of state Route 508 where Teresa A. Scott, 37, had wrecked her 1996 Ford Ranger, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Scott had been heading eastbound when her vehicle crossed the centerline and traveled about 60 more yards through a ditch, hitting a telephone pole and rolling over once, according to the state patrol. The Ford Ranger was described as totaled.

Scott was taken by ambulance to Providence Centralia Hospital, according to the investigating trooper.

The trooper reported she had been wearing a seatbelt, and she was cited for driving under the influence.
