A Summersville man was hurt Monday morning after his vehicle struck a tree on Highway U about nine miles north of Willow Springs.
Tpr. Jason Sentman said the 44-year-old driver, who was not identified by the patrol, was driving an eastbound 2000 Toyota Tacoma that traveled off the left side of the roadway and struck a tree at about 10:30 a.m.
He was taken by ambulance with minor injuries to Texas County Memorial Hospital in Houston.
The driver was not wearing a seat belt. The vehicle had moderate damage.
