Four people were injured during a single-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon, in Fremont County. One of the victims was extricated from the vehicle and transported in critical condition to the Shenandoah Memorial Hospital. Three other passengers were treated at the hospital for unknown injuries. The driver of the vehicle, Kenneth Frame, of Red Oak, was not hurt.

Officials say Frame was driving a 2000 Chevy Impala southbound in the 2300 block of Highway 59 just before 2-p.m., when the car went onto the right shoulder of the road. Frame lost control when he over-corrected, causing the car to exit off a driveway approach and proceed airborne before it landed in the west ditch and hit a tree before coming to rest.

Shenandoah Fire, Shenandoah Rescue, Essex Rescue and Shenandoah Police along with Page County Sheriff’s Deputies, assisted at the scene.
