A teen driver was injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident Tuesday evening east of Salina.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that a 17-year-old rural Saline County boy was northbound on S. Simpson Road in a 2008 Ford F150 when the pickup went off the east side of the road. The boy overcorrected, causing the pickup to cross the road, strike a mailbox, and go off the west side of the road, rolling once before coming to rest on its wheels. The accident occurred at approximately 6:23 p.m. Tuesday 600 feet north of the S. Simpson Road/E. Schilling Road intersection.

The boy, who sustained numerous cuts and a possible broken rib, was transported by private car to Salina Regional Health Center, Soldan said.
