An Altamont woman was injured in a crash in Fayette County Sunday morning.

State police say a vehicle driven by 45-year-old Mona Duckwitz was heading west on US Route 40, two miles east of St. Elmo, just after 10:30am. Duckwitz lost control of the vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway, overcorrected, and then drove into the ditch. The vehicle overturned several times. 

Duckwitz was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham for treatment. She was cited for improper lane usage.
