A woman was thrown from the bed of a pickup truck while traveling along Highway 80 toward Montgomery Sept. 16.

Evelyn Anderson was rushed to Baptist South hospital after she was thrown into the median of Highway 80 E from the bed of the pickup truck she was riding in, according to EMA Director Walter Hill.

The incident happened across from the Southern Star Gaming Center in White Hall.
