A Beloit woman was injured after falling asleep at the wheel and crashing on US-24 (6 miles east of Beloit) around 2:40 pm Monday.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 27-year-old Christina Clemente was westbound on US-24 when she fell asleep. When she woke up the vehicle was heading towards the right ditch. Clemente then apparently overcorrected to the left, crossing the lane of traffic and then overcorrected again sliding into the right ditch. The vehicle overturned flipping once, coming to rest on its’ right side facing the highway.

Clemente was transported to the Mitchell County Hospital with injuries. Her condition was not immediately known.

Three children, an 8-year-old, 1-year-old, and a 4-day-old baby were in the vehicle but fortunately none of the children were injured.
