A teenager was seriously injured in a rollover accident the evening of June 23 on a Forest Service road on Big Mountain.

According to Whitefish Fire Chief Joe Page, a group of teens was driving along the dirt road when their vehicle rolled as it rounded a corner.

One of the teens who was not wearing a seat belt was ejected from the vehicle. The other teens were buckled in and stayed inside the vehicle.
