A Greeneville man was injured shortly on Tuesday when the pickup truck he was driving left Warrensburg Road and overturned.

Ralph E. Harris, 39, of Fairlawn Drive, was driving a 1986 Ford F-150 pickup south on Warrensburg Road about a half-mile from its intersection with the Newport Highway when the 4:05 p.m. single-vehicle crash took place.

A report filed by Deputy Sheriff Michael MacDonald said the truck went off the right side of the road and struck a mailbox.

At that point, according to the report, the driver apparently over-corrected the truck's steering while attempting to get it back onto the pavement.

The truck then overturned onto its passenger side and slid back across the road before coming to rest partially off the left side of the road.

Harris was taken to Takoma Regional Hospital for treatment of what were believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
