A Lenoir City woman crossed four lanes of traffic Monday morning as she wrecked less than a mile past the Blount County line on Highway 321, according to authorities.

Teresa Underwood, 49, of Simpson Road, was heading east bound on Highway 321 when, according to Tennessee Highway Patrolman Chris Best, she apparently overcorrected after she weaved into the emergency lane and lost control of her vehicle.
Best said it appeared she hit the median and flipped two-and-a-half times before landing upside down in the grass on the westbound side.

Underwood was conscious when she was cut out of her SUV, according to Best. She was flown via Lifestar to UT Medical Center.
Authorities on scene said she was likely driving within the speed limit.
