BUTLER CO., Pa. (EYT) – An area teen was seriously injured after her side-by-side struck an embankment and rolled over on Saturday afternoon.

The side-by-side drove off the right side of the roadway as a result and struck an embankment. It then drove up the embankment and ultimately rolled onto the driver’s side.

The juvenile operator suffered suspected serious injuries as a result of the crash. She was airlifted by Life Flight to the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Neither occupant was using a seat belt.
