MONTGOMERY — A Loogootee teenager was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville following an accident on Thursday at 10:24 p.m., which saw her pickup fully engulfed in flames.

Jena Zimmerman, 17, 314 Sunset Mobile Park, was driving a 1994 Ford Ranger eastbound on CR 100S, south of Cannelburg, near CR 1100E. Zimmerman said it appeared another vehicle approaching her was left of center and she moved to avoid a collision. She tried to correct, but overcorrected and went into a slide, going sideways off the north side of the road, down a small ditch and through a fence. The car overturned several times, and came to rest on its wheels in the middle of a field.

Zimmerman was able to crawl out and go to a neighbor’s house for help. The pickup was fully engulfed in flames when emergency personnel arrived.

She was taken to Daviess Community Hospital, and later transferred to St. Mary’s, according to sheriff’s reports. Her condition was unknown at presstime.

Damage to the ditch, the fence, which belonged to Amos Graber, and her truck totaled between $5,000 and $10,000.
