(KMZA)--The 14-year-old driver was among two injured Wednesday morning in a Pottawatomie County single vehicle crash.
The Kansas Highway Patrol's report states that Mathias Hodges, of Saint George, was behind the wheel of a Mercury Mountaineer, southbound on K-99 Highway, just north of Louisville Road, when the front tire of the SUV left the roadway,
Hodges over-corrected, causing the vehicle to enter the west ditch, where it rolled over.
Hodges was transported to Wamego Hospital with possible injuries.
His 62-year-old passenger, Gary Hodges, of Saint George, suffered what the Patrol describes as “disabling injuries,” and was transported for treatment at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Patrol says the pair was not buckled up when the wreck happened shortly after 9:30.
