A teenager was injured during a single-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon, in Cass County. The Sheriff’s Department reports 16-year old Kane Melvin Cooley, of Anita, suffered multiple injuries and was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital by private vehicle, and later flown by LifeNet to the Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha.

Officials say deputies responded to the crash on Eastland Road three-quarters of a mile east of Anita, at around 4:15-p.m., Sunday. An investigation determined a 2003 Dodge Dakota driven by Cooley, was westbound on Eastland Road when the teen lost control. The pickup entered the north ditch, rolled over and came to rest on its top.

Damage to the vehicle is estimated at $10,000. The accident remains under investigation.
