An Elkton man was taken to the hospital following a crash in Caldwell County were the box truck he was driving overturned.
According to the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department, deputies responded to the area of the 14-mile marker on Marion Road around 9:36 a.m. for reports of an overturned box truck with possible injuries. Upon arrival, investigation determined that 37-year old David McClure of Elkton had been operating the truck north on Marion Road when, for unknown reasons, the Hampton Meats truck he was driving ran off the shoulder of the roadway.
McClure then overcorrected, causing the truck to cross the center line and leave the roadway, where it overturned before coming to a stop against a tree. McClure had to be extricated from the truck and was taken to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for treatment on non-life threatening injuries.
