A single vehicle-accident that occurred today at about 1 p.m. left a Radford man in the hospital after his car ran off the side of the road and up an embankment, said Sgt. Nathan O'Dell of the Blacksburg Police Department in a press release.
The driver, operating a 2005 Nissan Altima, was traveling west on the U.S. 460 Bypass we his car began moving in "an erratic manner" before hitting a tree and turning over a number of times, witnesses told police.
Joseph William Argabrite, 60, was sent to Montgomery Regional Hospital for treatment of a head laceration and a potentially broken arm and wrist.
According to O'Dell, the accident may have been caused by a diabetic medical emergency; however, the incident remains under investigation.
Argabrite was wearing his seatbelt and the driver's side air bag was activated.
