An 18-year-old girl was sent to the hospital Saturday following an injury caused by an accident involving a deer.

The girl was driving her 1997 Pontiac Sunfire in the left-hand lane of I-35 at 11:30 pm on Saturday when the accident occurred. A man driving a 1994 Honda Accord was driving on the right-hand side of the road when he swerved to avoid hitting a deer. The Accord plowed into the front of the Sunfire, sending both cars pinwheeling into a median strip. The girl was sent to the hospital to be treated. The man was uninjured.
