SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) –

A Shreveport woman is in the hospital after her vehicle fell off the interstate and nearly 60 feet to the ground Sunday night.

Shreveport police say they responded around 9:15 p.m. to a report of a crash on I-49 South at the 70th Street exit. They arrived to find 23-year-old Kiara Williams of Shreveport trapped in her crushed 2000 Ford Explorer on the ground below the interstate, near Dillman Avenue at West 79th Street.

Police believe Williams lost control and went over a concrete barrier after swerving to avoid a mattress left in the roadway.
