A Sutherlin man was injured in a single vehicle wreck on Interstate 5 on Thursday afternoon.

An Oregon State Police report said just after 4:30 p.m. troopers responded to the accident in the northbound lanes half-way between the Yoncalla/Drain exit and the Scotts Valley/Elkhead exit. The 33-year old sedan driver said he took his eyes off the road to move some items in his  backseat. When he looked forward, he was veering towards the center median. The driver overcorrected, causing his car to roll and come to an uncontrolled rest. The driver’s head injury was minor.

The vehicle was towed from the scene.
