A 30-year-old Walnut Hill man was injured in a single pickup truck crash in Walnut Hill early Wednesday night.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Dustin Alvis of Walnut Hill Road ran off the right side of the Walnut Hill Road at the Baker Street intersection, struck the roadside ditch, continued east where the pickup struck a large shrub and then another ditch. The pickup came to a stop on its top after hitting a tree.
Alvis was able to get out of the vehicle on his own. He was initially taken to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital and then airlifted to St. Louis.
The Centralia Fire Protection District assisted Lifestar ambulance in getting Alvis into the ambulance.
The crash occurred at six Wednesday afternoon.
