The driver of a 1992 Toyota and her passenger suffered minor injuries during a rollover accident Sunday evening, west of Malvern. According to the Mills County Sheriff’s Office, 18-year old McKynna Brogan, of Glenwood, was traveling south on Highway 275 at around 7:40-p.m., when she lost control of the car just north of Kane Avenue.
When the vehicle began to fishtail, Brogan took evasive action, but over-corrected. The car hit the east embankment and rolled over, coming to rest on its top. Brogan was trapped in the vehicle, but the passenger managed to free herself. A passing motorist stopped to help and called 9-1-1. Glenwood Fire and Rescue extricated Brogan from the vehicle before she and the passenger were transported to Mercy Hospital, with Brogan transported by Glenwood Rescue. The accident remains under investigation.
