A 19-year-old rural Odin man received minor injuries in a one car crash on the Odin Road blamed on heavy thunderstorm activity late Thursday afternoon.

Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say Tristan Rhynes of Laclede Road was traveling on the Odin Road south of Red Stripe Road when he lost control, ran into the roadside ditch, overturned once, with the car then coming to rest on its wheels in a nearby field.

Rhynes was able to get out of the car on his own.

The Odin Fire Protection District was called to assist Rhynes who initially said he was not hurt, but later went to Salem Township Hospital to be checked out. The crash occurred at 3:46 Thursday afternoon.
