Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say 35-year-old James LeMarr told them he fell asleep while traveling on US 51 near the Boone Street Road intersection. He ran off the east side of the road, went down an embankment, hit a culvert, and then a stop sign at the south entrance to the rest area.
LeMarr was taken by United Medical Response to an area hospital for treatment of injuries. The Sandoval Fire Department was called to the scene to assist.
The crash was reported at 2:56 Friday afternoon.
