     A 17-year-old female was transported to Logan Regional hospital after losing control of her car and hitting utility pole on 600 South between 2100 and 2200 West on Tuesday afternoon in Logan.
     The girl's car, a blue 2005 chevrolet Aveo, was seen at the bottom of an embankment in a muddy ditch with air bags deployed.
     Cache County Sheriff officals say the teen was traveling west-bound.  The teen told investigators she misjudged a turn in the road.
     The 35-foot utility pole that was struck in the collision was used to support adjacent power poles with a guy wire.  No electrical service was ever interrupted and no electrical wires came loose from the poles.
     Utility crew were at the crash site to erect a new pole and reconnect the support cable.
     Sheriff's officals said Tuesday evening the 17-year-old was scheduled to be released from the hospital.  Medical personnel treated minor injuries to her arm, officials said.
