HUBBARD COUNTY — A Solway woman has been injured after hitting a deer at a high speed on Sunday in Hubbard County. After responding to the scene, law enforcement found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in her vehicle.
According to a release from Hubbard County Sheriff Cory Aukes, at 5:06 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, deputies received a report of a single-vehicle crash on Hubbard County Road 9 in Rockwood Township.
Deputies arrived to find the driver of the vehicle being attended to by medical personnel from Bemidji Ambulance Service.
The investigation showed that 24-year-old Hanna Saul of Solway was driving a 2014 Hyundai westbound on County Road 9 at high speed when she struck a deer. Saul lost control of her vehicle and drove into the ditch on the opposite side of the road, the release said.
Saul’s vehicle skidded 483 feet when it went through a fence and came to a stop in a tree line, causing substantial damage to the vehicle. Saul was transported by ambulance to Sanford Medical Center in Bemidji, and later to a Fargo hospital.
