(Persia) A rural Persia teen was killed in a single-vehicle rollover accident in Harrison County Wednesday morning.
The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 8:01 a.m. reporting the accident on 315th Street, near Winston Avenue, southeast of the City of Persia. According to the report, 17-year-old Seth Pauley was driving a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad-Cab pickup westbound on 315th Street and began traversing down a hill, approaching the intersection of Winston Avenue. Pauley lost control of the pickup during this time and began swerving back and forth, leaving visible tire marks within the gravel on the roadway. The pickup eventually rolled over and entered into the south ditch off of 315th Street, just west of Winton Avenue. Pauley was ejected from the pickup. The pickup came to rest on its wheels and Pauley was pinned underneath the rear axle. Pauley was removed from underneath the vehicle and found to be unresponsive with no pulse. Life-saving measures were taken on scene without success.
The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Shelby County Rescue, Persia Rescue, Medivac, Minden Rescue, LifeNet Helicopter and Harrison County Medical Examiner.
