A 29 year old Spencer man escaped serious injury in a one vehicle rollover crash Friday morning on Highway 70 east in the Midway area.
Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said Rayford Keen was traveling west in a 2014 Honda CRV when he went off the right side of the highway and overturned down an embankment. The vehicle came to rest on its side against a tree. Keen said he lost control after a car in front of him stopped to make a left turn into a private driveway. Keen refused transport to the hospital by EMS but planned to seek medical treatment on his own. He was cited for failure to exercise due care.
Members of the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department were also on the scene.
