An Effingham woman was injured in a crash in Fayette County during the noon hour Thursday.

State police report a SUV driven by 72-year-old Julie Hoffman was westbound on I-70, two miles east of Vandalia, when the crash occurred at 12:44pm. Police say Hoffman's vehicle ran off the left side of the roadway into the median. The unit traveled down a concrete bridge embankment, crossed a county road, and traveled up another concrete embankment before coming to rest in the median.

Hoffman had to be airlifted from the scene of the crash to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.

Hoffman was cited for improper lane usage.
