Three Teens Injured in Nowata County Wreck
Three Nowata County teenagers were injured in a single-vehicle wreck Sunday night near Lenapah.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a 2006 Buick Terraza driven by a 16-year-old female from Wann lost control of the vehicle on North-South 411 Road, approximately 4 miles northwest of Lenapah just after 11 p.m. Sunday.
Troopers say the vehicle left the roadway, when the driver lost control and overcorrected before rolling the vehicle. An 18-year-old male passenger from South Coffeyville was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle.
The 16-year-old driver was transported to a Coffeyville, Kansas hospital where she was treated and released. Another passenger, a 17-year-old male from Nowata, was also taken to the hospital, treated and released. The 18-year-old passenger was taken to the Coffeyville hospital and later transported to a hospital in Wichita with several injuries.
OHP says the driver was driving too fast on a gravel road, which caused the wreck.
