An 18-year-old was injured in a single vehicle crash Wednesday morning on Big Rock Road.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Chrystyan Tate was traveling south in a 2014 Hyundai Elantra attempting to negotiate a curve to the right when the vehicle ran off the left side of the roadway and collided with a fence and a small plastic DTC pole. The car then came to a final rest off the left side of the roadway facing north.
Tate was injured and taken to the hospital by DeKalb EMS. A 17-year-old passenger was not hurt. Both were wearing their seatbelts.
The DeKalb County Sheriff and Fire Departments were also on the scene.
