One-person was injured during a rollover accident on Highway 25 in Union County, Saturday. According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, a 2014 Dodge RAM pickup driven by 24-year-old George Wesley Eaglen, of Greenfield, was traveling east on the highway near Creston at around 1:34-p.m., when the pickup went out of control because it was traveling too fast for road conditions.

The vehicle entered the north ditch and slid into a culvert before it rolled once and came to rest on its wheels, with the front wheels in a pond near the Creston Golf Course. A passenger in the pickup, 18-year-old Peyton Sue Braman, of Knoxville, complained of pain and possible injury, but was not transported to the hospital. She was not wearing a seat belt.

Authorities say Eaglen was not hurt. Damage to the pickup was estimated at $5,500. No citations were issued.
