An SUV veered off the highway in Kirksville Tuesday afternoon, and the driver was reported to be unresponsive.

It happened just before 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 6 and Industrial Road.

Police say an SUV driven by Jennifer Long, 27, of Columbia, Mo., was eastbound on Highway six when the vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway, took out a road sign and came to rest in a ditch at the intersection.

Emergency medical personnel rescued long from the SUV.

She was taken by ambulance to Northeast Regional Medical Center for treatment.

Police told KTVO they believe a medical episode likely caused the crash. They say Long did not suffer any apparent injuries from the crash itself.
