A Madison County teen suffered possible/unknown injuries during a rollover accident early Saturday morning, in Union County. Sheriff’s officials say 15-year old Alexis Hawkins, of Winterset, was transported to the Greater Regional Medical Center in Creston following the accident that took place near Lorimor at around 2:35-a.m., Saturday.

Officials say Hawkins was driving a 2003 Saturn Ion southbound on Highway 169, when she lost control of the car. The vehicle entered the west ditch and rolled once before coming to rest upright. Hawkins was later cited for Failure to Maintain Control and Driving without a license. The car sustained $5,000 damage during the crash.

The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports also, 27-year old Tyler Scott Sutton, of Osceola, was arrested Sunday morning for possession of drug paraphernalia and 2nd degree Theft. Sutton was arrested at the Union County Law Enforcement Center after he was found to be in possession of a 2001 Chevy Silverado that was reported stolen from Creston last week. Sutton remains in the jail while awaiting an appearance in front of the magistrate.
