A Muldrow woman was hospitalized Tuesday after she lost control of her vehicle on an iced-over road in Adair County, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) reported.

OHP Trooper Rodney Vick reported that Claudia Cortez, 54, was driving her 1994 GMC van at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday on Rock Fence Road when she lost control of the van, ran off the roadway on the left side, stuck an embankment and overturned one time. Cortez was thrown about 12 feet from the point of impact, the trooper reported.

The accident occurred eight and a half miles south of Stilwell and one and two-tenths miles east of U.S. Highway 59.

Vick reported that Cortez was taken to Stilwell Hospital where she was listed in stable condition with head and internal trunk injuries.

Vic reported that seatbelts were not in use, and the accident was the result of icy roads, snow and sleet.
