(KNZA)--A Thursday evening single-vehicle Brown County wreck left two Falls City, Nebraska residents injured.

Brown County Sheriff John Merchant said the wreck happened in the vicinity of K-246 and 290th Road around 8:15.

Merchant said 71-year-old Edna Austin was northbound on K-246 when her Honda Accord went off the right side of the roadway. He said Austin overcorrected, causing the vehicle to roll onto its top.

She had to be extricated from the vehicle. Austin was transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital and later lifeflighted to another hospital.

A passenger, whose name was not released, was transported to the Sabetha hospital for the treatment of minor injuries.

Merchant said both occupants were wearing seatbelts at the time of the wreck.
