According to officers from the Zanesville Police Department, a woman driving a white Ford Explorer south on Putnam Avenue went through a red light when the large vehicle in front of her obstructed her view of the traffic signal.

She was taken to Genesis hospital for her injuries, but police say she was alert and talking at the scene.

The driver of the Ford Explorer was cited in the crash.
