Juvenile Killed in Single-Vehicle Crash in Ringgold County

By Tom Robinson Nov 26, 2022 | 5:21 AM

(Diagonal) A Benton, Iowa, teen died in a single-vehicle crash near Diagonal.

The Iowa State Patrol says the accident happened at 7:01 p.m. on Friday on P33 south of Diagonal. Authorities say 15-year-old Abbi Overholser died in the crash.

According to the report, Overholser was driving a southbound 2009 Chevy Trailblazer, swerved to miss a deer, and overcorrected, causing the vehicle to go out of control. The Trailblazer went into the ditch and rolled. Overholser, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected from the vehicle, which ended up on its top.

Ringgold County Ambulance transported Overholser to the Ringgold County Memorial Hospital.
