The driver was not hurt when a vehicle flipped near Drain on Wednesday morning.

A report from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at about 9:45 a.m. an 18-year old Cottage Grove man was headed southeast in the 3,800 block of Upper Smith River Road when he came into a corner too wide and his right front wheel hit a drainage ditch breaking the wheel off.

After the wreck, the SUV ended up on the passenger side and was blocking both lanes. The report said it did not appear that speed was a factor in the crash.
