Wright and his family were traveling southbound on I-35, four miles north of Winston, driving a 2003 Ford Excursion SUV. The vehicle veered off the left side of the highway. Wright tried to straighten the wheel, but overcorrected, drove across both lanes and off the other side of the road. The vehicle then hit an embankment and skidded onto the side, wheels facing west.
Four of the seven people in the vehicle were injured, two with moderate injuries and two with minor injuries. Injured parties were transported to Cameron Regional Medical Center. The other three occupants refused treatment. All were wearing safety devices. The SUV was totaled.
The accident was investigated by Sgt J. M. Cross and assisted by Daviess County EMS.
