An Eldon woman was injured Friday night when her vehicle slid down a hill in Miller County.
Lakota Murphy, 20, stopped her 2001 Toyota Avalon at the top of a hill on Firefly Road, just south of Sandstone Road, and exited the vehicle. A Missouri State Highway Patrol report states that the vehicle began sliding backwards on the snow and ice-covered roadway and James re-entered the vehicle in an attempt to stop it and was struck by the open driver door. The vehicle continued sliding backwards before finally striking a stump and telephone utility box.
