A teenager from Union County suffered minor/non-incapacitating injuries during a rollover accident Sunday afternoon. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports 14-year old Rachel Ann Boyer, of Kent, who was wearing her seat belt, was transported by a private vehicle to the Greater Regional Medical Center, in Creston. Officials say Boyer was traveling eastbound on a gravel road…the Ringold-Union County line, when the 2009 Chevy Sebring she was driving went out of control as it passed over a small rise on the road.

When Boyer over-corrected, the car skidded across the roadway and entered the north ditch, where it rolled over and came to rest on its wheels, next to a culvert. Damage from the crash amounted to $3,000. No citations were issued.
