(KNZA)--A Perry teenager escaped serious injury in a single-vehicle roll-over wreck on U.S. 24 Highway in Jefferson County early Sunday afternoon about five miles east of Perry.Young, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, was transported to a Lawrence hospital for treatment of possible injuries.

 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.

The wreck was reported around 12:30 Sunday afternoon.
