A teen suffered abrasions and pain after her vehicle hit an embankment, causing it to roll over.
At 3:52 p.m. Wednesday, a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to a crash on West Union Street, approximately 500 feet from Ind. 15.
A gray 2002 Toyota Camry was eastbound when it crossed left of center and ran off the north side of the road, according to a KCSO crash report. The Camry continued off the north side of the road, colliding with an embankment. The collision with the embankment caused the vehicle to roll over several times. The Camry came to a rest, overturning in the eastbound lane of the road.
The driver, Riley D. Hale, 17, West Lakeview Park Drive, Warsaw, stated she was unaware of the impending curve and she lost control of the vehicle after making the curve and hitting the embankment, according to the report.
The Camry sustained extensive damage and was towed by Glenn’s towing due to disabling damage.
Hale complained of pain to her hip and suffered abrasions on her arms and hands. She refused treatment at the scene, saying she would seek medical attention at a later time.
The report states Hale was wearing her safety belts at the time of the crash.
Damage was estimated at $10,000 to $25,000.
