A Watson teenager was injured in a crash Thursday morning.

Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports the crash occurred at 7:26am on US Route 40, an eighth-mile east of 900th Street at Funkhouser. 

Deputies say 17-year-old Dawn McGuire lost control of the vehicle she was driving and the vehicle left the roadway and struck a culvert. The unit went airborne and then hit the ground, coming to rest up an embankment.

McGuire was injured and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham. She was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid the crash.
