(KMZA)--A two-vehicle Nemaha County wreck late Sunday night sent an Axtell teenager to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 19-year-old Marissa Slone was eastbound on U.S. 36, west of the K-178 junction, when she approached another eastbound vehicle driven by 48-year-old Jerry Birdsley, of Centralia, at a high rate of speed. Slone went into the westbound lane, sideswiping the left rear corner of Birdsley's car. Slone's car ran off the roadway and rolled, coming to rest on its side.
Slone was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca with what the Patrol described as possible injuries.
Birdsley was not hurt.
The wreck was reported shortly after 11:30 Sunday night.
