At 9:30 p.m., Sarah George-Smith, 22, of Arundel lost control of her Kia Optima when she tried to avoid hitting a deer, police said. The car struck a guardrail, rolled over and landed in a ditch on Limerick Road near the intersection with Downing Road. George-Smith, who was alone in the car, was taken to the Biddeford hospital with minor injuries.

George-Smith was charged with operation after suspension and violation of conditions of release.
