A 39-year-old woman was hospitalized this morning after she lost control of her pickup truck on ice and and slid down an embankment near Mossyrock.
A trooper was called about 6:50 a.m. to the scene on state Route 122 just east of Birley Road.
Samantha H. Kennedy, of Mossyrock, had been traveling eastbound before her Dodge Ram left the road and came to rest against a tree, according to the Washington State Patrol. The vehicle was described as totaled.
Kennedy suffered scrapes to her shoulder and chest and was taken to Morton General Hospital, according to the investigating trooper.
She was to be cited for speeding, the state patrol reported.
