McCLURE - A 17-year-old female was ejected from her vehicle and is now listed in serious condition at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville following a one-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon on Back Maitland Road in Decatur Township, Pennsylvania State Police Lewistown and a hospital official said.

The vehicle sustained major damage.
Police were assisted on the scene by Fame EMS, Decatur Fire Co., East Derry Fire Co. and City Hook and Ladder.
