Two young adults suffered serious injuries on Monday evening after their vehicle crashed along a canal road west of Powell.
A total of four young people had been riding in the 1994 Isuzu Rodeo when it veered toward the canal, according to the Park County Sheriff’s Office.
The driver, 18-year-old Jala Satterwhite of Powell, then overcorrected in the other direction, causing the Isuzu to go off the elevated road and collided head-on with an irrigation ditch, said Monte McClain, the communications supervisor for the sheriff’s office.
The crash occurred around 5:15 p.m. on a stretch of canal road located just south of U.S. Highway 14-A and the Garland Canal, between Roads 12 and 13.
Occupant Michaela Osborne of Cody, 21, was seriously injured, being found unresponsive at the scene, McClain said. A helicopter from Guardian Flight was dispatched and the medical flight crew took Osborne directly to a Billings hospital for treatment. She was listed in stable condition on Tuesday, McClain said.
Another occupant, Maddi Hackenberg of Powell, 18, suffered a leg fracture and was taken by ambulance to Powell Valley Healthcare for treatment.
Fellow passenger Jonathan Ferguson of Powell, 19, was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the Isuzu in the crash. However, he was not injured, the sheriff’s office said.
Driver Satterwhite was also not injured; she, like Hackenberg and Osborne, had been wearing a seat belt in the vehicle, which did not have doors.
The sheriff’s office cited Satterwhite for careless driving.
