The truck veered into the left lane to avoid another vehicle but went off the road in the process, according to the crash report. The 21-year-old driver, Daniel Hinton, overcorrected, and the truck overturned off of the right side of the road.
Hinton and a 17-year-old passenger were arrested for delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. ABC 17 News will report the name of the 17-year-old suspect once charges are filed.
