A 19 year old Crossville man escaped serious injury in a one car crash Sunday night on Highway 70 east near Sligo.
Trooper Todd Logan of the Tennessee Highway Patrol says Andrew Morgan was driving a 1999 Nissan Altima west on U.S. 70 when he lost control while going around a curve. The car struck a guardrail on the right, went back across the highway and hit a rockwall on the left side of the road. The car then overturned into a ditch, came to rest upside down, and caught fire. Morgan apparently got out of the vehicle on his own and was taken by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Community Hospital where he was treated and released.
Members of the Midway station of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department came to the scene to extinguish the fire.
