A Tonganoxie teenager who was injured in a rollover crash on Christmas Eve has been released from the hospital.

Samuel C. Denholm, 17, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Friday afternoon after his 2000 Ford Explorer struck a concrete barrier and rolled over on U.S. Highway 24-40.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol report, Denholm, who wore a seat belt, became distracted just before the crash. He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and was treated and later released, said Belinda Rehmer, an LMH spokeswoman.
