Carlisle Township – A LaGrange teen walked away from a roll over crash on West Ridge Road Sunday afternoon after failing to negotiate a curve.

Trooper Charlie Jackson of the State Patrol said that 16 year old Drew Fitzgerald of LaGrange was traveling south on West Ridge Road, just north of Butternut Ridge, when he lost control of his car. Fitzgerald told Troopers that he was traveling at 55MPH in a 45MPH posted area when he failed to negotiate the curve and went off the left side of the road. Fitzgerald’s car hit the ditch and rolled over into a field coming to rest on its roof.

The teen was able to get out of the car on his own and was up walking around when Troopers and Firefighters arrived.

Fitzgerald refused any medical treatment from LifeCare Paramedics at the scene and was released to an adult family member who responded to the scene.

Troopers say that Fitzgerald was charged with Failure to Control and Seat Belt.
