A Fayetteville

teen received minor injuries when her car left the road, rolled over and

struck a utility pole off Redwine Road Sunday morning.

It took emergency

crews over an hour to free Amanda Rae Meredith, 17, of Fayetteville, according

to Maj. Wayne Hannah of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department. She was

taken to Southern Regional Hospital where she was treated and released,

Hannah said.

Meredith was

wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident, Hannah confirmed.

Meredith's

1996 Chevy Cavalier was headed south on Redwine Road near Panther Path

when it left the road. As she steered back onto the pavement, the car

went into a counter-clockwise spin before leaving the other side of the

road and traveling up an incline, Hannah said.

The car began

to roll over but came to rest when its roof struck the utility pole, Hannah

added.
