A teenager was injured in a pickup truck crash Saturday night on Highway 83 (Allen Ferry Road) near the Little League ball park.
Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said the 17 year old boy was traveling west in a 1995 Chevy S-10 when the truck ran off the right side of the roadway. After the driver overcorrected the truck came back across and went off the left side of the road striking a ditch and culvert. The teen, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was taken by DeKalb EMS to Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital. He reportedly suffered a laceration to the head.
Trooper Johnson wishes to thank each member of the Smithville Fire Department for offering their assistance until the scene was cleared.
