Three teens from southeastern Iowa were injured during a rollover accident Friday afternoon. The Iowa State Patrol reports the driver of a 2005 Ford F-250 pickup, 15-year-old Emory Justina Walton, of Washington (IA) and two passengers: 14-year-old Rowan Virginia Ross, of Washington, along with 15-year-old Kylee Rae Buffington, of Winfield, transported to the University of Iowa Hospital Emergency Room, with Buffington being flown to the facility by UIHC Aircare, and the other by ambulance. A report on their conditions was not available.

The Patrol says the pickup was westbound on 285th Street in Washington County, west of Quince Avenue, when Walton lost control of the vehicle. The pickup entered the south ditch and rolled several times, ejecting all three girls. The accident happened a little before 2-p.m.

The crash remains under investigation
