A Liberty man suffered an injury to his hand in a one car crash Friday on Highway 70 at Snow Hill.
Trooper Dewaine Jennings of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 23 year old Eddy Fidel Rangel was east on Highway 70 in a 1992 Mazda 323 when he crossed all oncoming lanes and went off the left side of the highway and over an embankment. The car struck a culvert and rolled over on its top. Rangel got out of the car on his own but was taken by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Community Hospital. He may have suffered bone fractures in his hand.
Rangel was charged with driving on a suspended license, failure to maintain lane of travel, and violation of the financial responsibility law (no insurance).
