The Marion County Sheriff’s Department reports no one required hospital treatment following two rollover crashes over the weekend.
The sheriff’s department reports 18-year-old Logan Niepoetter of Edgewood Road in Salem was eastbound on Tonti Road Sunday afternoon when he left the roadway, hit a culvert, and rolled over in the roadside ditch. He was out of his car walking around when deputies arrived. Niepoetter declined hospital treatment from United Medical Response. Salem Firemen were also dispatched but were canceled before arriving on the scene once it was learned Niepoetter had gotten out of the vehicle.
The sheriff’s department reports a 17-year-old female juvenile from Centralia refused hospital treatment when the SUV she was driving ran off the 2400 block of Iuka Road three and a half miles south of Iuka on Saturday afternoon. Deputies say the juvenile was northbound on Iuka Road when one of the right tires ran off the right side of the road, she overcorrected, went across the pavement, ran off the left side of the road and overturned in the roadside ditch. She was able to get out of the vehicle on her own. Both Iuka Fire and United Medical Response were called to assist.
