Two dogs which were in the capsized vehicle ran from the scene, reports state. 

The driver of the overturned vehicle, Kathryn Stersue, 55, of Redding Road in Redding, was transported to the hospital for observation of injuries, reports state. She was issued an infraction for failure to drive right and operating an unregistered motor vehicle.
