Police say a 26-year-old driver, identified as Dayton Cates, may have been intoxicated when he lost control of his pickup truck and left the roadway. The truck overturned multiple times, seriously injuring both the driver and his 19-year-old passenger. Both occupants went to the hospital.

Authorities arrested the driver of the pickup truck but say that he has since been released.
