Rescue workers carry an unidentified 15-year-old male from a pickup truck that spun around and flipped over Monday on U.S. 160 near Woody's Food Store and Towaoc. He was airlifted to Farmington for injuries. A 12-year-old female was also treated for injuries and released. The driver, 38-year-old Alfreta Young of Kayenta Ariz., was cited for careless driving causing injury, too many occupants in the vehicle, failure to provide proof of insurance and not using a child safety seat. Colorado State Patrol Trooper Tonja Cowan said it appeared the driver was passing and shifting gears when the truck lost control on the slippery highway.
