Two teenagers were injured in a crash Thursday night near Lake Sara.

State police say 18-year-old Tristan Rankin of Salem was northbound on Safety Harbor Road just before 10pm when the crash occurred. Police say Rankin failed to negotiate the curve from Safety Harbor onto Park Avenue. Rankin's car struck a steel post and gate.

Rankin and his passenger, 16-year-old Kaylee Hanks of Salem, were both injured and were taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.

Rankin was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid the crash.
