An 18-year-old Jamestown woman was injured in a crash Wednesday after the vehicle she was driving struck a tree on the southbound entrance ramp to Interstate 29, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

The woman was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Impala southbound on the I-29 southbound entrance ramp coming from the eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 at about 2:20 p.m. The patrol said the vehicle drove off the left edge of the roadway, and the driver steered right but overcorrected, causing the vehicle to rotate to the right.
