A Sparta man was seriously injured in a one car crash early Sunday morning on Highway 70 east near the Midnight Express.
Sergeant Eric McCormick of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 24 year old Jackie Sullivan was driving east in a 2013 Ford Focus when the vehicle went off the highway and into the woods.
Sullivan was taken by DeKalb EMS to Saint Thomas DeKalb Hospital. He was to have been airlifted but weather conditions at the time prevented it.
Alcohol was involved and charges are pending.
The accident was investigated by Trooper Jason Cobble of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
