A woman was seriously injured Friday afternoon when her car crashed in a patch of trees on Peachtree Parkway just south of Windgate Road.

The victim, whose name was not immediately available, was thrown from the vehicle during the collision. She was flown to an area hospital by helicopter after she was stabilized by paramedics.

Skid marks leading to the crash area showed that the car was traveling north on the parkway before it ran off the road into the median. It rolled over and appeared to have struck a tree before coming to rest on its driver's side.
