Teen hurt in wreck

Rebecca Wright, 18, of Marion was injured in an automobile accident about 8:40 a.m., Thursday near the Crittenden-Caldwell line on US 641. 

According to state police, Wright was southbound when she entered a curve and dropped off the shoulder of the roadway. She then over-corrected causing her vehicle to cross both lanes of travel and leave the opposite side of the roadway. She then struck an earth embankment and a utility pole coming to final rest off the roadway. 

Wright was transported to Crittenden Co. ER by Crittenden Co. Ems.
