MARION, Ohio — One person is injured following a crash in Marion County early Saturday morning, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The crash happened around 12:45 a.m. on state Route 309 near Pleasant Hill Road in Marion.
Troopers said a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado was traveling westbound on Route 309 when the driver failed to negotiate a curve just west of Pleasant Hill Road. The driver then drove off the right side of the roadway, hitting a guardrail.
The vehicle then rolled over the guardrail and down an embankment, overturning several times before coming to rest in a field.
The driver was flown to The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center with serious injuries.
While the crash remains under investigation, alcohol is suspected to be a factor.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Marion County Sheriff's Office, Marion Township Fire & EMS, Salt Rock Fire & EMS, MedFlight and Ron's Towing.
