17-Year-Old Crashes Into Column at Arden Road Bridge

A single vehicle was involved in a crash this morning at the Arden Road and Houston Harte turnaround, blocking the roadway for approximately 45 minutes. 

Investingating officer Ed Hunger arrived on scene and stated, "A 17-year-old boy, he just came to that corner with too much speed, slid over and hit the bridge column."

The boy was driving a Toyota Tundra and had two female 17-year-old passengers in the vehicle when he lost control. The driver was taken to Community hospital with non life-threatening injuries. He will be cited for unsafe speed, Hunger said.

No one else was injured in the crash.
