Oakdale woman improving after car wreck

Authorities reported that an Oakdale woman was in good condition after being thrown through a sport utility vehicle windshield in a wreck Tuesday.

Christine Alexander, 24, was the passenger in a Chevrolet Yukon that was traveling west on Highway 120 when it crashed east of River Road, California Highway Patrol officer Shane McConnell said.

The windshield glass cut her face and arms but she was otherwise all right, McConnell said. She was listed in good condition at a Modesto hospital Wednesday.

The driver, 27-year-old Charles Carter, was taken to Oak Valley Hospital in Oakdale with minor injuries.
