COUNTY ACCIDENT
A vehicle driven by a rural Union City teenager went off the road and struck an embankment Thursday at 1:45 p.m. in Pike Township.
Justin M. Fennig, 17, 8284 South 800 East, told Jay County police he was northbound on Boundary Pike, a half-mile south of county road 400 South, when his rear brakes locked up, causing him to lose control of the car.
The 1988 Toyota car he was driving, registered to Wayne Bailey of the same address, fish-tailed before hitting an embankment on the east side of the road.
Damage to the vehicle was estimated between $750 to $1,000.
