According to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office reports, Jacquie Zanck, 43, of Sisters, was driving westbound on Highway 20 near the Lazy Z Ranch on Tuesday morning when an oncoming Honda Accord veered into her lane, missing another vehicle and striking Zanck's 1999 Ford Expedition.

The expedition rolled, coming to rest on the driver's side. The airbag did not deploy. Zanck was wearing a seatbelt.

The occupants of the Honda allegedly fled the scene in another vehicle before sheriff's deputies arrived. According to the sheriff's office, they have not yet been found.

A Sisters ambulance responded to the scene but did not transport Zanck to the hospital. She reportedly went to St. Charles Medical Center later in a private vehicle seeking treatment for unspecified injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
