A 16-year-old Morton boy was injured after crashing his vehicle on state Route 508 on Monday night, according to a news release from the Washington State Patrol.
The teen was traveling east on 508 just west of Butts Road just before 10 p.m. when the crash occurred.
He failed to properly negotiate a turn and his 2015 Nissan Rogue left the roadway into the westbound ditch, rolled and came to rest back on the roadway, fully blocking the eastbound lane and partially blocking the westbound lane, according to the state patrol.
The teen was transported to Arbor Health Morton Hospital for treatment.
The state patrol reported that speed was the cause of the crash and that drugs and alcohol were not a factor. The teen driver was wearing a seat belt.
The driver could face a charge of second-degree negligent driving, the state patrol reported.
The Nissan was totaled in the crash.
