A single-vehicle wreck on I-24 near Oak Grove Monday morning injured a Clarksville woman.

A news release from Kentucky State Police says 26-year old Tara Baird of Clarksville was westbound on I-24 just before 8am when she hydroplaned on the wet pavement and lost control of her car.

The vehicle ran off the right side of the road and struck an embankment, causing it to overturn several times. Ms. Baird was taken by ambulance to Blanchfield Army Community Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say she was wearing her seatbelt.
