A local woman was injured in a crash in West Township Sunday evening.

The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office said the crash happened at 6pm on 300th Street, about a half mile south of 500th Avenue. The driver, 36-year-old Leily Ramirez Ochoa of Effingham, lost control of the vehicle, which went off the road to the right.
