Sheriff’s officials say 23-year old Molly Payne, of Elliott, was driving a 2014 Polaris UTV northbound along a field entrance in the vicinity of 350th Street/Elderberry Avenue, when she made a sharp right turn into another field.

When the UTV rolled onto its passenger side at around 12:15-a.m., Corey Vestal, of Glenwood, who was in the right front (passenger) seat, suffered a pinned, broken arm. An unidentified rear seat passenger, complained of shoulder pain. Vestal was transported by Hastings Rescue to Creighton Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.

Payne was tested for alcohol and charged with OWI/1st offense. Her bond was set at $1,000.
