A Portland woman was injured in a single-vehicle crash on state Highway 500 and Falk Road early Thursday morning.

Lynnette Harvey, 35, was driving a 1997 Honda Accord west on the highway when she got in the right-turn lane at Falk Road just before 5:30 a.m., according to Washington State Patrol.

The Honda continued straight and struck a traffic pole, troopers said. Harvey was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, where she is listed in satisfactory condition.

Investigators said speed caused the crash and that Harvey will face charges of speeding for the conditions, having expired tabs and having no insurance.
