curve,” she said.The teen rounded the curve on the 500 block of Currytown Road and lost control causing him to strike a deep ditch that sent the car tumbling at least four times for over 300 feet before landing right-side up in a resident’s yard.

assessment by EMTs the parents agreed the young man
needed to be checked out at the hospital. EMS then transported the
young man to MCG Trauma Center. He was not thought to have any serious
