Tarah Colwell, 32, injured, transported to hospital, after her car leaves the Highway 95 roadway near Rome, and crashes down a steep ravine, trapping her in the vehicle.

Oregon State Police say a woman spent hours trapped in her vehicle after it went off Highway 95 and plunged down in a ravine near the southeast Oregon community of Rome.

Oregon State police stated that 32-year-old Tarah Colwell of Meridian, was taken by ambulance Wednesday night to West Valley Medical Center in Caldwell, where she was treated and released.

Hastings says Oregon Department of Transportation workers spotted the vehicle at about 7 p.m. off the highway in the sparsely populated area. They hiked down an estimated 100 yards and discovered the woman trapped inside.

Colwell told the ODOT workers she had been stuck in the damaged vehicle since early that morning.

Hastings says the vehicle might not be recoverable.
