A woman spent about 30 minutes with her leg trapped beneath her van Thursday morning following a rollover crash near the intersection of Northeast Fourth Plain Road and Vancouver Mall Drive.
The two-vehicle crash was reported at 10:44 a.m. Thursday, said police spokeswoman Kim Kapp.
Firefighters used heavy extrication tools to tear the roof off a van involved in the crash and gain access to the woman, said Kevin Stromberg, a spokesman with the Vancouver Fire Department.
The woman, Tracy D. Smith, 44, of Vancouver, was freed from her vehicle and loaded onto a stretcher at about 11:20 a.m.
She was taken to Southwest Washington Medical Center, police said.
On Thursday evening she was listed in satisfactory condition, a nursing supervisor said.
A man also suffered injuries in the crash and was taken to a hospital. His name was not immediately available. Police said he suffered a sore leg and upper back pain.
