A Whitefish area woman sustained numerous injuries Saturday morning in a one-vehicle rollover on Farm to Market Road.

Linda Coyle, a Tally Lake Road resident, was northbound about three miles north of the West Reserve Drive intersection when her vehicle went off the road and rolled several times down a 25-foot embankment. She was returning home at about 7:30 a.m. from working the night shift as a nurse at Brendan House, and said she doesn't know whether she fell asleep or was distracted. She was wearing a seat belt.

Coyle suffered a broken right shoulder, broken left hand, broken left knee, torn ligaments in her right leg and three broken ribs, according to her husband, Joel Coyle. She is hospitalized at Kalispell Regional Medical Center.
