A teen driver was injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident west of Salina Friday afternoon.

Deputies and EMS were dispatched to the 5300 block of West Crawford at approximately 1:30 p.m. Friday for the report of a vehicle that had rolled into a wheat field, Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning.

A 2005 Scion driven by Abigail Frisbie, 16, of Salina, was westbound on West Crawford when Frisbie lost control and the car slid off the road, and rolled two times into a wheat field, Melander said.

Frisbie was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center with non-life-threatening injuries, he said. A 14-year-old female passenger was not injured, Melander said. The two girls were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident, he added.
