A 28-year-old Olympia woman was injured in a rollover collision on U.S. Highway 12 near Mox Chehalis Road in Grays Harbor County after she reportedly swerved to avoid a deer just before 2 a.m. on Monday.

After swerving, the vehicle — a white 2005 Toyota Corolla — left the road and struck an embankment on the right hand side, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The vehicle rotated and flipped, coming to rest on its side in the middle of the road.
