A single vehicle with one occupant had hit the right edge of the highway during a white-out snowstorm and over corrected, causing her vehicle to roll onto its side.

The female driver was extricated by the Kanab Fire Department and transported to the hos­pital by ambulance with injuries.

The case is under inves­tigation at this time.

Correction:

After publication, Kanab City Police Chief Tom Cram notified the Southern Utah News that his initial statement contained inaccuracies. Chief Cram clarified that the cause of the accident remains under investigation and has not been determined. He also confirmed that the driver was treated at the scene for minor injuries and released, rather than being transported to the hospital. We regret the error.
