Two people were injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident Friday night in Union County.

Deputies said 20 year old Garrett Neal Thomson of Creston was taken to Greater Regional Hospital in Creston by EMS with what were described as incapacitating injuries, while 18 year old Arya Autumn Sky Nunn of Creston was taken to the hospital suffering minor injuries.

A release from the Union County Sheriff’s Office states that the 2000 Honda Accord passenger van driven by Nunn was southbound on Clover Avenue and swerved to miss a deer in the road.  Nunn lost control and the van left the roadway, striking a ditch at an angle.  This caused the van to begin rolling over.  Deputies say the van traveled approximately 30 yards before coming to rest upside down.  Thomson was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected through the passenger side window.
