A 30-year-old woman was airlifted to a St. Louis Hospital after being found injured and unconscious on the side of a St. Clair County road.

Deputies from the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department were dispatched to the 3000 block of Lickenbrach School Road in Lenzburg at 11:02 p.m. Friday. The St. Libory Fire Department and MedStar Ambulance also responded.

According to the sheriff’s department, the woman was traveling with a 32-year-old male in a 2003 Lincoln Navigator when they began to argue. She jumped from the moving car and fell on the roadway where she sustained some scrapes and an injury to her head.
