One person was injured in a single vehicle rolloever accident about 3:40 Sunday afternoon near the Gandyville community.

Jennifer Lowe, 16, lost control of her westbound pickup truck on Highway 4A near Broomes Road. Her truck apparently left the highway, traveled a short distance on the shoulder of the road before skidding across the road, down the opposite shoulder and then back across the road again. The truck struck a ditch embankment, became airborne and crashed through a metal gate before striking a small hill and a tree. The truck landed upside down.

Lowe told authorities that she swerved to avoid another vehicle in that was in her lane when she rounded a curve on Highway 4A

Bystanders say she crawled out of the truck and walked to a nearby house before calling 911. Lowe was transported by ambulance to Jay Hospital.

The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
