A woman from northwest Iowa was injured in a rollover accident late Monday night in Monona County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 39-year old Tammy Marie Dean, of Castana, who was not wearing her seat belt, was injured when her SUV rolled over near Mapleton, ejecting her from the vehicle.

The accident happened at around 11-p.m. on northbound Highway 175. Officials say Dean was driving a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and failed to negotiate a left hand curve. Her SUV left the road and entered the east ditch. It then struck a guard rail on the south side of a bridge before continuing north and rolling over once on the bridge.

The Jeep came to rest on its wheels the east shoulder north of the bridge, facing south. Dean was transported by Mapleton Rescue to Burgess Hospital in Onawa. A report on her condition was not immediately available.
