An Augusta woman was hospitalized following an early morning accident in Osage County Sunday.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol crash log, 44-year-old Teresa Ann Fowler was traveling northbound in a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix when her left front tire blew out at mile marker 164.1 around 6:40 am. Fowler lost control of the vehicle and it struck a barrier wall and guard rail before coming to a stop.
Fowler was taken by ambulance to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka with what are being called “suspected minor injuries.” Fowler was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the accident.
