Man Flown to Hospital after Single-Vehicle Car Accident in Worthington

Posted on Jan 27, 2012

January 27, 2012 – Worthington, W.Va. – A man was wounded when his vehicle overturned during the afternoon on Thursday, January 26.

WDTV reports that the incident happened at about 1:30 p.m. on Route 19. Officials said that an SUV was travelling northbound on the road when its driver lost control of his vehicle, resulting in it crashing into a utility pole. The SUV then rolled over, landing on the driver’s side.

The man that was driving the SUV was injured in the accident. He had to be transported via medical helicopter to Ruby Memorial Hospital to seek treatment. The extent of his injuries is currently unknown. The driver’s identity has not been released.

Residents in the area had no power for about an hour following the accident while the power company worked to repair the phone lines.

The root of the accident remains to be determined and is under investigation by the Marion County Sheriff’s Department.
