Sheriff’s deputies and fire personnel found a silver 2010 Mercedes SUV wrecked off the side of the road. The vehicle had struck a tree and sustained front end damage. The driver was unresponsive, but showed signs of life. An ambulance transported the driver to a local hospital. There were no other occupants in the vehicle besides the driver.
A preliminary investigation indicated that the Mercedes had been traveling south on Old State Road prior to the crash.
