The Marion County Sheriff’s Department reports a 35-year-old Michigan man escaped with only minor injuries following a Friday morning crash blamed on the snowy conditions.

Deputies report Jorge Quintana of Haslett, Michigan was traveling southbound on I-57 at mile marker 129 about two miles north of Kinmundy when he got blinded by the snow while traveling behind a semi.  Quintana said he veered off the left side of the road when he could no longer see and went down an embankment.

Kinmundy-Alma Fire and EMS responded to the scene.  Quintana declined medical treatment.

The crash occurred at 5:15 on Friday morning.
