A Polo teen suffered a leg injury yesterday afternoon following a single vehicle crash in Ogle County. The accident took place a short time after 2 in the 5,000 block of South Route 26 in rural Polo.
Reports indicate that a pick-up truck driven by 19-year old Ricardo Martinez was traveling northbound on Route 26 when the vehicle crossed over the road and entered the west side ditch. The truck then struck a tree before it finally came to a stop in a private drive.
Martinez was extricated from the vehicle by Polo and Dixon Fire Department personnel. He was then transported by ambulance to KSB Hospital in Dixon with the leg injury.
The crash remains under investigation by Ogle County Sheriff's Police.
