A two-vehicle accident sent a 16-year-old driver to the hospital Saturday afternoon.
Allen County sheriff’s deputies said the driver, whose name was not released, was attempting to pass another car on the old highway between Iola and Humboldt, but clipped the other vehicle in the maneuver.
The teen’s vehicle slammed into a tree, while the other vehicle went off the road, struck some trees and turned onto its side.
The teen was transported to Allen County Regional Hospital. The passenger in the other vehicle, who also was not identified, had a possible concussion, deputies said, adding that both drivers and the passenger were wearing seat belts.
