A driver sustained injuries yesterday in a single-vehicle accident in Cumberland County.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol says a 2008 Dodge Avenger driven by 23-year-old Stephen Isaiah Burford was traveling on Highway 68 near Turkey Oak Road near Homestead when he lost control in a curve.

The vehicle left the road and struck a telephone pole.

The rear of the Dodge then collided with a nearby tree.

The report states troopers issued citations for failure to maintain a lane of travel, failure to wear a seat belt, and an insurance violation.
