A Pasco teen was hurt when she rolled her car Friday on Highway 17 in Douglas County, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Kiley Doyle, 18, was about 10 miles southeast of Bridgeport at about 4:40 p.m. when her Nissan Altima left the roadway.

She overcorrected, and her car reentered the roadway from the shoulder and then rolled, coming to rest on its top in the ditch, according to WSP.

Doyle, who was wearing a seat belt, was flown to Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Drugs or alcohol were not believed to be a factor in the accident, according to WSP.
