Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to Snake Road north of Sutherland at about 2:30 p.m., on the report of a rollover accident.

Upon arrival, Deputies learned that 16-year-old Alexandria Lurz of Ogallala was driving northbound on Snake Road when she hit a puddle of water, which caused her to lose control.  The vehicle hit an embankment and rolled one time, coming to rest on its wheels.

Lurz and three passengers were transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center by Sutherland Rescue.  Three of the vehicles occupants were wearing seat belts, however, Deputies say the person with the most severe injuries was not restrained.

None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening according to authorities.

No citations were issued, and alcohol was not a factor.
