A southwest Iowa teen suffered non-incapacitating injuries during a rollover accident Saturday morning. According to the Page County Sheriff’s Office, 16-year old Sydney A. Casteel, of New Market, was ejected from the 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix she was driving, after it went out of control and slid into the north ditch towards the east, along the north ditch edge of the road. The vehicle rolled more than once before coming to rest on its wheels in the ditch. Rescue workers found the teen laying next to her car. Casteel was transported by helicopter to Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha.

Sheriff’s officials say the accident happened northwest of New Market on 210th Street, near the intersection with Willow Avenue.
