GYPSUM - A teen was transported to the hospital after a single-vehicle rollover accident late Monday afternoon south of Gypsum.
A 17-year-old Salina boy was northbound on S. Gypsum Valley Road when the right front tire dropped off the edge of the road, sending the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse the boy was driving into the ditch, Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning.
The vehicle struck a culvert/field entrance and went airborne, rolling several times before coming to rest, Melander said.
The accident occurred at approximately 5:35 p.m. Monday near the intersection of S. Gypsum Valley Road and E. Hedberg Road.
The boy suffered minor injuries and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Melander said. He was properly restrained at the time of the accident.
