A 52-year-old Elma woman wound up at a Tacoma hospital Saturday evening after she rolled her pick-up truck in south Mason County, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Troopers say she was driving at a speed that was too fast for the conditions.

Just before 6 p.m., the woman was headed west on state Route 108, which runs between McCleary in Grays Harbor County and Kamilche in Mason County.

Troopers say she entered a curve, lost control of the truck, hit a dirt embankment, rolled and came to a stop in the eastbound lane.

She was airlifted to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, according to State Patrol.

The woman is facing charges of first-degree negligent driving and third-degree driving while license suspended or revoked, troopers say.
