A Crestview woman was seriously injured early Monday morning when her car struck a dog on U.S. Highway 90 near Pine Top Road and overturned on some nearby railroad tracks.
Janet A. Brunson, who is 44, was taken to North Okaloosa Medical Center after the 6:55 accident.
She was traveling west when she hit the dog and veered onto the north shoulder, where her vehicle rolled. She ended up right side up on the tracks, according to the Florida Highway Patrol media release.
All rail traffic was stopped until the car could be removed from the tracks.
Her 2005 Honda sustained $10,000 worth of damage.
She was wearing her seatbelt and alcohol was not a factor, the release said.
