An Alexandria man lost control of his truck and crashed in Dowelltown Wednesday afternoon but he wasn’t injured.

Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said 19 year old Justus Tramel was east on East Main Street in Dowelltown in a 1999 Ford F-150 when he lost control and went off the right side of the road. The truck hit a natural gas line, utility pole, and tree.

He was cited for failure to exercise due care.

Along with Trooper Johnson, others on the scene were DeKalb EMS, Sheriff’s Department, and the Liberty Station of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department.
