A 72-year-old Salkum woman was injured when she lost control of her car yesterday and ran off U.S. Highway 12 near the Mossyrock dam and ran into rocks, trees and an embankment.
A trooper called about 2:30 p.m. reported Shirley F. Looney suffered bruises and a cut to her elbow. She was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Her 1992 Pontiac Bonneville sustained an estimated $5,000 damage.
The responding trooper reported she was eastbound and failed to negotiate a left hand curve. He blamed driver inattention.
