Terre Haute firefighters were called just before 7 AM to the Super 8 Motel just south of Margaret on 1^st street on the city’s south side.

The woman in the room suffered severe burns and was flown to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment.

Employees of the motel believe a cigarette was to blame for the fire.

Damage was contained to the one room.

The investigation is continuing.
