RED OAK – A dropped cell phone caused a Red Oak driver to run off the road Friday morning.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office report, a 1978 Ford Thunderbird belonging to Ronald Alan Dolph, 23, of Red Oak was found in the ditch near the intersection of 200th Street and Ginkgo Avenue at 5:08 a.m. The vehicle was unoccupied.
Upon further investigation, deputies learned that that Dolph was traveling northbound on Ginkgo Avenue. Reports stated that Dolph dropped his cell phone and attempted to retrieve it. He ran off the end of the intersection of 200th Street and Ginkgo, struck a sign, went airborne for a short distance and landed in the ditch, where he skidded about 20-feet into a bean field.
Dolph was transported by private vehicle to Montgomery County Memorial Hospital for treatment of injuries suffered in the crash.
The vehicle sustained roughly $3,000 in damage.
