The vehicle had extensive damage and was towed from the scene.
The driver was transported to Mercy Washington by Gerald ambulance. It is unknown whether a seat belt was in use at the time of the crash.
An arrest report filed by MSHP shows Logan A Merseal, 23, of Gerald was charged with Driving while Intoxicated at 4:24 p.m. that day at Mercy Washington and released.
