Drove off road

A Decatur man drove off the road Saturday evening near Portland, hitting a mailbox and utility pole and damaging the car he was driving.

Ryan E. Bracey, 29, 115 Selkirk, was driving north on Indiana 27 when he entered the southbound lane, overcorrected and went off the road, striking a mailbox. He had been driving erratically before going off the road, according to a Jay County Sheriff’s Office report. The 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 he was driving went through several yards before striking an AEP utility pole and coming to a stop.

The truck is registered to Jack E. Bracey, 221 N. 3rd, Decatur.

Ryan Bracey complained of pain over his entire body and was treated at the scene. Drug test results are pending.

Damage in the 6:25 p.m. accident is estimated between $2,500 and $5,000.
