A Colon woman was injured after the vehicle she was driving went off the roadway and struck a tree in Sherman Township.

Sheriff Mark Lillywhite said deputies were called shortly before 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to a location on Shimmel Road, near Banker Street.

Investigators said the 65-year-old woman was driving south on Shimmel Road when her vehicle veered off the road just north of Banker Street.
