A local man driving a Ford pick-up truck crashed through a telephone pole, splitting it, before overturning in a field.
First responders were dispatched to Flowers Road near Currie Mill Road shortly after 7 p.m. It was reported the male driver was able to get out of the truck, and left the scene after being picked up by another vehicle.
