(BEDFORD) - A Freetown man suffered facial injuries after his vehicle struck a tree Friday night.
According to a Lawrence County Police report, 25-year-old Michael Bush told police he was unfamiliar with the road when he crashed his 2000 Dodge Ram pickup at 7:28 p.m.
Police say Bush was traveling south on Leesville Road and had entered the curve at around 55 to 60-miles-per-hour when he hit his brakes. The truck crossed into the northbound lane went off the east side of the road, struck an embankment and then a tree in the yard of Sandy Couch at 6613 Leesville Road.
