Additional details have been released on a two-vehicle rollover wreck Saturday afternoon on US 79 in Todd County that sent a man to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The Todd County Sheriff’s Department says 19-year old Robert Thomas of Russellville was headed south when he attempted to pass several vehicles at once and collided with another southbound automobile driven by 43-year old Lisa Watson of Allensville, who was making a left turn onto Snardon Mill Road.

Thomas’ vehicle left the road, snapped a utility pole and overturned in a field.

A passenger of Thomas, 19-year old Charles Dailey of Clarksville, was flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries.

Thomas was treated at the scene for minor injuries and Watson and her passenger were not injured.
