The Page County Sheriff’s Office reports a Red Oak teen was injured during a rollover accident early Sunday morning, near Essex. 18-year old Brenna Nicole Oakleaf, who was wearing her seat belt, suffered non-incapacitating injuries and was transported by Essex Rescue to the hospital in Red Oak. Officials say Oakleaf was traveling east on Page County Road J-20 at around 12:50-a.m., Sunday, when she fell asleep at the wheel of the Pontiac Grand Am she was driving. The car drifted onto the shoulder and entered the south ditch before Oakleaf woke up and over-corrected, sending the car into a sideways skid before it rolled nearly twice and came to rest on the passenger side.
