A 31-year-old Iuka man was arrested on an outstanding Clay County warrant on Monday after being involved in a single-vehicle crash on the Iuka Road five miles south of Iuka.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Chad Cochran of North Main Street lost control when a deer ran out in front of him when he was negotiating a curve. He missed the deer but ran into the roadside ditch.
Cochran was not injured, but an 11-year-old male juvenile in the SUV was taken to the hospital for treatment after complaining of back pain.
The crash occurred at 8:02 Monday morning.
