(Ringgold County, Iowa) – A single-vehicle, rollover accident Friday evening in Ringgold County, claimed the life of a teenager. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2009 Chevy Trailblazer driven by 15-year-old Abbi Overholser, from Benton, was traveling south on Ringgold County Road P-33, south of Diagonal at around 7-p.m., when the teen swerved to avoid a deer on the road.

When she over-corrected, the SUV went out of control and entered the west ditch, where it rolled over. Overholser was not wearing a seat belt. She was partially ejected and was found partially pinned under the vehicle as it came rest. She died from her injuries at the Ringgold County Hospital. Two juvenile passengers in the vehicle were not injured.

The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Ringgold County Sheriff’s Office.
