Just east of Abilene on Tuesday afternoon, a Texas Tech student was injured in a one-vehicle rollover, according to KTXS News.
A Department of Public Safety officer told KTXS News that the driver of the vehicle, a 19-year-old Texas Tech student, was the only one injured.
Three other students were in the vehicle but escaped injury.
The students were driving westbound on I-20 from the Dallas area to Lubbock when the accident occurred at mile marker 297, near the FM 603 exit, just east of Abilene.
The driver passed another car and started to pull into the right-hand lane, but there was a car there. The driver then over-corrected and lost control of the vehicle, officers at the scene said.
This over-correction caused her SUV to rollover onto the center medium. All of the students were wearing their seat belts. The vehicle was totaled.
The injured driver was taken to Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene with non-life-threatening injuries.
For about 30 minutes, westbound traffic on I-20 had to be diverted around the accident, officers at the scene told KTXS.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
