The Kansas Highway Patrol says 17-year-old Mariah Young was westbound in a Ford Focus when she drove off the edge of the roadway. Young overcorrected, and hit the accelerator instead of the brake. Her car entered the south ditch where it struck a telephone pole and rolled once before coming to rest on its wheels.
