CORONADO HEIGHTS - Two teens from Lindsborg were injured Sunday night after the pickup they were in rolled coming down the road from Coronado Heights in southern Saline County.
A 17-year-old boy was driving a 2009 Chevrolet Colorado pickup down the hill when the pickup failed to negotiate a curve in the road and rolled at least once, coming to rest on its tires, Saline County Undersheriff Brent Melander said this morning. The wreck occurred just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday.
It is believed that the boy was driving too fast to safely negotiate the curve, Melander said.
Both the boy and a 17-year-old girl who was a passenger in the pickup were taken by EMS to the Lindsborg Community Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Melander said. They both had been properly restrained in the pickup.
