A crew from the Cortez Fire Protection District removed the driver’s door to free the woman, whose car was apparently T-boned by a northbound vehicle about 6 p.m. as she entered the highway from Lebanon Road.
Officers from the Cortez Police Department arrived within a few minutes of the crash, along with fire crews and the Southwest Health System ambulance, according to early radio communications.
The condition of the car’s driver was not released, but she was sitting up as ambulance crews took her away.
