Three teenagers from Harlan were hurt when the pickup they were in rolled over Saturday night. The Sheriff’s Office says 16-year old John Carroll was driving a 2002 Chevy Silverado westbound on 1400 Street at around 9:30-p.m., when the pickup went out of control and traveled into the north ditch, where it came to rest on its top near the intersection with Knotty Loop.

One passenger in the truck, 15-year old Samuel Klein, was ejected. Carroll, Klein and another passenger in the vehicle, 14-year old Tara Hansen, were transported to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan. Hansen was later flown by LifeNet helicopter to a hospital in Omaha for additional treatment.

Carroll and Klein were treated at the hospital and released. Authorities cited John Carroll for Failure to Maintain Control. Shelby County Deputies were assisted at the scene by Medivac Ambulance, along with Earling and Westphalia Fire and Rescue crews.
