A 17-year-old New Madison girl was injured in a Wednesday afternoon rollover crash.

The teen driver was headed west at 4:45 p.m. in a red 2002 Ford Ranger XLT on Hollansburg Arcanum Road when she failed to negotiate a curve and went off the right side of the roadway. She then over-corrected and went off the left side of the roadway and overturned before the pickup came to rest on its side according to preliminary investigation by the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.
