First responders took her to the hospital for treatment of what they believe to be non-life-threatening injuries.

According to authorities, Lt. Jeremy Courtney noticed a man getting into a vehicle stopped nearby while responding to the call. He stopped the vehicle on St. Michael Dr. and discovered Wright was a passenger inside.
