A 9-year-old was taken to the hospital after a vehicle rolled over on Old Mayfield Road in McCracken County.

On Saturday, deputies with the McCracken County Sheriff's Department were sent to 6800 Old Mayfield Road after a report of a single vehicle roll-over collision with injuries.

Upon arrival, deputies say they noticed a vehicle upside down on the side of the road. The driver was identified as Michelle Portales of Texas. 

Portales told deputies that she had been driving south on Old Mayfield Road, when another vehicle crossed into her lane. She swerved to avoid a collision, then over corrected when entering back onto the roadway causing her vehicle to flip.

A 9-year-old girl in the back seat was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Old Mayfield Road was closed for approximately 40 minutes.
