CHEHALIS – Three young people escaped serious injuries when a 16-year-old Pe Ell boy lost control of his car on state Route 6 about 12 miles west of Chehalis yesterday evening.

Troopers and aid called about 6:30 p.m. found the 2005 Saturn on its top, its roof was smashed.

The vehicle was eastbound in between the two ends of River Road when it traveled along the right hand ditch about 25 feet, rolled and possibly flipped, according to responders. The occupants exited through a side window, according to Lewis County Fire District 16 Chief Greg Feuchter.

“Very lucky, not having major injuries,” Feuchter said. “Very lucky.”

Justus Hoffman, 16, was not injured but 11-year-old Faith Hoffman of Pe Ell and 15-year-old Rylee White of Chehalis were taken to Providence Centralia Hospital, according to the Washington State Patrol.

The girls were transported more or less to be observed, Feuchter said.

The car was described as totaled. The driver was cited for improper lane usage, according to the state patrol.

    I thought that under 18 or 21 a driver could not have other minors with them?
