An Effingham woman was injured in a late night crash Monday.

The crash occurred at 11:15pm on Country Club Road, south of Lake Sara. Deputies say 23-year-old Ashley Painter of Effingham swerved her vehicle to miss striking a deer in the roadway. The vehicle slid sideways, hit a ditch and rolled onto the passenger side, scraping a power pole.

Painter was injured and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham for treatment.

Deputies cited Painter for not wearing her seat belt.
