SMITHFIELD -- A 19-year-old Norridgewock woman suffered extensive injuries Wednesday night after her car veered off the road as she tried to avoid hitting a deer, police said.

Tiffany Foss was flown to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

Lt. Carl Gottardi of the Somerset County Sheriff's Department said Foss suffered possible broken bones, and burns to one of her ears.

Foss remained in the Bangor hospital Thursday, but her injuries were not considered to be life-threatening, Gottardi said.

Gottardi said Smithfield rescue workers freed Foss, who was partially ejected from her vehicle after it rolled over into a field. Foss was driving on Village Road.

The accident was reported at 8:20 p.m.

Somerset County Sheriff's Deputy Ritchie Putnam, Delta Ambulance and Smithfield Rescue all responded, followed by a LifeFlight helicopter.

The vehicle was demolished, Gottardi said.
