A rural Saline County youth was injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident Thursday morning east of Salina.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Camden Spano-Lund, 17, was eastbound on Country Club Road, when the 2003 Mazda B4000 pickup he was driving drifted off the north side of the road then went back toward the south side, rolled, and came to rest on its top.
The accident occurred around 6 a.m., approximately 1,800 feet west of Whitmore Road, Soldan said.
The Saline County Sheriff's Office was notified of the accident shortly before 7:30 a.m. Thursday, when a passerby noticed the pickup on its top and called in, he said. When deputies arrived, Spano-Lund was gone, as he had been able to exit the pickup and walk to a nearby residence, Soldan said.
Someone at the residence called the boy's father, who picked him up and took him to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan explained. Spano-Lund was suffering from a possible head injury and could not remember what had happened in the accident, Soldan said.
