Three teens were injured during a rollover accident Wednesday afternoon near Sidney, in Fremont County. Sheriff’s officials say a vehicle the teens were in was traveling south on 260th Avenue, just south of  200th Street at around 3:30-p.m., when the vehicle began to fishtail. The driver, 16-year old Kenna Nenneman, over-corrected and lost control, causing the vehicle to roll several times. Two passengers in the vehicle, 16-year old Autumn Graham and 15-year old Shay Sears, were not wearing their seat belts, and were ejected from the vehicle. Authorities say Nenneman was wearing her seat belt.

Nenneman and Sears were transported by ambulance to Grape Community Hospital in Hamburg, while Grahamn was flown by medical helicopter to a trauma center. The crash remains under investigation, but officials say alcohol was not believed to be a factor.
