Four area teenagers were injured in an accident Sunday when the vehicle they were riding in traveled over a bridge and landed on its top.

According to the accident report from the Ellis County Sheriff’s Department, just after 3:00 p.m. Sunday 19 year-old Tanner McDermott of Downs was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer westbound on Saline River Rd. when the vehicle entered the north ditch.

The driver then overcorrected causing the vehicle to travel into the south ditch and then it traveled back-and-fourth between the two ditches one more time before driving onto a bridge. The driver again overcorrected causing the vehicle to leave the bridge and the vehicle landed on its roof.

The driver McDermott and three passengers; 15 year-old Lillian Eilers, 16 year-old Andrew Fisher and 17 year-old Charles Eichman , all from Plainville were transported to Hays Medical Center with possible injuries.

According to the report everyone but Eilers was wearing their seat belt.
