Airbags deployed during the single-vehicle crash Friday evening on Route 519 in Lopatcong Township, police say.
A teenage driver Friday evening was injured when she looked to see if a deer was crossing the roadway, lost control and struck a concrete bridge in Lopatcong Township, police say.
Bridget A. Sember, 18, of 5th Avenue in Alpha, at 10:41 p.m. was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee southbound on Route 519 when police say she looked to the left to make sure a deer wasn't crossing over.
She then struck the wall of the concrete bridge on the right side of the roadway, police say. Airbags on the vehicle were activated and Sember couldn't recall if she was wearing a seat-belt, police say.
Police say Sember was outside the vehicle when officers arrived at the scene and complaining of leg pain. She was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Police did not have information Sunday on Sember's medical condition.
Police said the bridge was constructed over a small creek. The crash occurred near the Warren Animal Hospital, 793 Uniontown Road.
The Lopatcong Township Fire Department also responded to the scene.
