Lewistown Man Hurt, Charged in Rollover Wreck
An area man is hospitalized in Peoria after he crashed the vehicle he was driving Monday night near Lewistown.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Department says the accident happened northeast of Lewistown and injured 26-year old Michael Parker of Lewistown, who was airlifted to OSF St Francis Medical Center for treatment of injuries he suffered in the mishap.

Authorities say Parker drove off the road onto an embankment and flipped his vehicle, ejecting him in the process. The report from police didn't say if Parker was the only person in the vehicle, what time the accident happened or specifically where.

Parker is facing a pair of charges when he's released from the hospital: driving under the influence of alcohol and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.
