(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman escaped serious injury in a New Year's Day crash in Doniphan County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 20-year-old Diamond Lashay Worten was westbound on U.S. 36 Highway when her 2008 Chevy Impala left the roadway and spun backwards striking several fence posts.  Her vehicle then traveled over a cement culvert, coming to rest on its wheels.

Worton was transported to Hiawatha's Amberwell Hospital by private vehicle for the treatment of possibile injuries.

The Patrol says Worten was not buckled up when the wreck occurred shortly before 11:00 Saturday morning.
