(KAIR)--An early Sunday morning crash left two Leavenworth County teenagers injured, with one requiring hospital treatment.
A report from the Kansas Highway Patrol says 17-year-old Jeremia Burnett, of Lansing, was driving southbound on 155th from Eisenhower Road, in Leavenworth, when his Jeep Cherokee left the roadway to the right. Burnett overcorrected to the left, sending the vehicle into the left ditch before stopping on a fence.
Burnett, who was wearing a seat belt, suffered only a possible injury, while his passenger, 17-year-old Andresea Prieto, of Leavenworth, was transported to St. John's Hospital with what the KHP calls a suspected minor injury.
According to the report, Prieto was not buckled up at the time of the wreck, which occurred shortly before 7:30 Sunday morning.
