Lawrence woman injured in Allen County rollover accident

A 48-year-old Lawrence woman was injured in a rollover accident Saturday afternoon in Allen County, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The accident report said Azita Ahosseini was driving a 1998 Toyota Camry south on U.S. Highway 169 at 12:30 p.m. when the vehicle began to fishtail for an unknown reason. The car entered the west ditch, spun clockwise, hit a culvert stream bed, fell backwards into an embankment and then rolled once resting on its wheels.

The crash occurred 1 mile east of Iola, which is 80 miles south of Lawrence.

Ahosseini, who wore a seat belt, was injured and taken to Allen County Hospital, according to the report. Two Lawrence passengers, 52-year-old Shahram Samandi and 19-year-old Gelareh Samandi, were not injured.
