Police: Minor injuries to teen whose car flipped

A teen was treated for minor injuries Monday morning after the vehicle she was driving flipped and struck a wall when she lost control on U.S. 90 in Morgan City, according to police.

At 7:10 a.m. Monday, Morgan City police responded to a single-vehicle crash on U.S. 90 just east of the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard off ramp, Lt. John Schaff said.

The driver, Marisleysis Guillen, 17, was cited for careless operation of a motor vehicle with a crash and no driver’s license. Guillen was transported to Teche Regional Medical Center to be treated for minor injuries, Schaff said.

The vehicle was traveling west when Guillen lost control for unknown reasons. The vehicle then struck the wall on the side of the U.S. 90 bridge and flipped a couple of times, Schaff said.

Traffic was diverted at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard exit for about 45 minutes until police cleared the scene.
