Herrington added that the driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries, but he refused medical treatment by paramedics on scene.

After the investigation, officers determined the driver of the vehicle failed to maintain his speed and lost control of the vehicle.

“[The driver] hit the curb, flipped his vehicle upside down and landed in someone’s yard,” Herrington said.

The driver of the vehicle also managed to strike two objects beforehand.

“Before landing in the yard, [the driver] did strike a 'No Parking' sign and [what] is believed to be a cable box,” noted Herrington.
