DEKALB COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) - Two teens walked away with only minor injuries after hitting a fence post and rolling a car over a ditch Saturday night in DeKalb County.

Around 5:47 p.m., Kendallville 18-year-old, Alec Traxler, 260 E. Airport Road, was driving a 2007 Chrysler Sebring south on County Road 13, north of County Road 16 when he drove off the west edge of the roadway.

Traxler only complained of pain to the chest.  His passenger, 15-year-old Abigail Ramey, 232 S. Clark St, Kendallville, only complained of pain to the head and arm.
