A woman was injured after her car hit a dump truck parked in a breakdown lane in Fairfield.

Authorities were called to the area of 219 Norridgewock Road around 10:12 a.m. on Friday. When they arrived, they found a woman still inside her upside-down Jeep Patriot.

Police determined the Jeep was heading south on Norridge Road when it drifted into the breakdown lane for unknown reasons.

A dump truck and trailer was unloading equipment when the car began to drift, hitting a ramp and causing the Jeep to roll over.

The driver of the Jeep was taken to a hospital where she was later released with non-life-threatening injuries.

Those nearby the dump truck, employees of Pine Tree Waste, were not injured.

Officials say they do not expect charges to be filed.
