TOOELE — A 46-year-old woman was flown to a Salt Lake hospital in critical condition early Tuesday after being ejected from her vehicle.
Just before 6:30 a.m., the Utah Highway Patrol received reports of a rollover accident on state Route 36. The vehicle went off the shoulder of the road and rolled, according to the UHP.
The woman, Mindy Pranno, was conscious, breathing and alert when she was transported and was in the intensive care unit Tuesday evening.
Detectives were looking at the possibility of impaired driving, according to UHP investigators.
"She admitted to using prescription medication," said trooper Chris Lewis.
