One person injured after swerving to avoid deer

One person had to be extracted from their vehicle following a single vehicle crash Saturday afternoon. Emergency personnel responded to the intersection of County U and Rattlesnake Road in Beetown. 8-year-old Michael Stoner of Moline, IL, was driving on County U when he swerved to avoid a deer in the road. Stoner left the road, traveled through a fence, and crashed into a pasture, where he overturned. Stoner was trapped in the vehicle, and had to be extricated and transported to Grant Regional Health Center for evaluation of non-life threatening injuries.
