The driver of a Beaufort County Water Department vehicle had to be airlifted to the hospital following an accident Wednesday morning.

State troopers say say the accident happened around 11:45 on Core Point road, which is off of Highway 33 in the Blounts Creek area.

Trooper Kevin Respess says the driver was reportedly traveling south at a high rate of speed when she ran off the road and over corrected. Respess says the truck then over turned in a corn field.

The victim was ejected from the vehicle. Her condition is unknown at this time.
