One man was injured Thursday after he lost control of his Chevy pickup truck on West Broad Street and crashed into the side of the building at Gino’s Barbeque.
John Alsup, Jr. was taken by DeKalb EMS to the hospital. Alsup was apparently traveling west when he left the highway and came across the parking lot before hitting the building.
Members of the Smithville Volunteer Fire Department responded to help Alsup out of the truck. The crash was investigated by the Smithville Police Department.
