Eaton Township – A Grafton man was injured Tuesday night after he rolled the car he in on South Reed Road in Eaton Township.

Trooper Joe Cirilo of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said that 46-year-old Dennis Meyer of Grafton was traveling south on South Reed Road when he lost control of his truck and went off the right side of the road. Meyer struck a mailbox and a utility pole before coming to rest on its side.

Eaton Township Firefighters had to remove Meyer through the sunroof because the utility pole was lying across the top of his truck. Meyer was treated by Paramedics then transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Meyer told Troopers that he swerved to miss a deer that was crossing the road. Troopers say that there is no evidence of a deer and noted that Meyer’s skid marks going off the road were gradual – not quick as they would be if a deer in the roadway had startled a driver.

Cirilo said that Meyer was charged with OVI.
