A teen was injured when he lost control of a pickup in a single-vehicle crash east of Salina Thursday afternoon.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a 15-year-old Saline County boy was northbound on S. Whitmore Road, just south of E. Cloud Street, when he lost control of the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac he was driving. The pickup went into the east ditch and then rolled up over E. Cloud Street, coming to rest on the passenger side of the vehicle, Soldan said.

The crash occurred at approximately 4:23 p.m. Thursday.

The boy complained of back pain and was transported by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan said.
