Teen Rolls Pickup in Early Morning Accident

An Assaria teen escapes serious injury after a rollover in southern Saline County.

Sheriff Soldan says that the accident occurred on Tuesday, April 25 at 2:42 am. Deputies were sent to the 7200 block of S Ohio, or just 600 feet south of K-4, where a white 2004 GMC pickup had been southbound on Ohio. The 17-year-old male driver from Assaria had lost control of the vehicle, went off the east side of the road, rolled completely and came to rest on its wheels. The driver was then able to drive the vehicle into Assaria, where the teen's mom drove him to SRHC. The teen was reported to have minor injuries.
