A Virgina man was hospitalized after his car ran off a rural Concord road and overturned in a field on May 24, 2018.
Varl Lockler, 32, was transported to Lynchburg General Hospital with a head and arm injury, according to Virginia State Police.
Lockler was driving a 2001 Honda Civic when the car’s defective rear driver’s-side tire caused him to lose control. The vehicle careened off the left side of the road and overturned twice before coming to a rest in a field. Lockler managed to crawl out of the overturned vehicle on his own, police said.
