A man was taken to the hospital following a single vehicle wreck northwest of Roseburg on Tuesday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said at 4:20 p.m. a deputy responded to the 100 block of Kestrel Lane, just off of Garden Valley Road. A 52-year old driver said his pickup was having some front-end issues and he could not keep it under control. The man said the vehicle veered off the road and he could not turn the steering wheel. The crash caused damage to a fence and nearby trees.

The driver was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center with unknown injuries. He is listed in fair condition at last check, according to a hospital spokesperson.
