Amarillo, TX — There was a serious one-car wreck this past Friday (April 24, 2015) in the mid-afternoon that apparently left a woman injured, according to the Amarillo police. They said that a woman in a blue Saturn Ion was injured after the car lost control and flipped over.
The location of this wreck (see map below) was in the southbound lanes of U.S. 287, just north of Cherry Avenue.
Police said that the woman had been driving south that day around 12:00 p.m. when the car lost control after veering into the median of U.S. 287. The car then flipped over at least once and did major damage to the roof, leaving the woman with injuries.
She had to be taken to a hospital, but her condition wasn’t ever updated.
Some cars (mostly SUVs and vans) aren’t built with very sturdy roofs and don’t withstand rollover wrecks very well, even just a single roll. It’s not clear whether this vehicle was one of those that had a shoddy design and there’s been no indication that the police will be looking into that either.
